[Verse 1] Under the decklamp glow You grin with that crooked face Three heads in a stolen coat And salt on your sleeve for lace We dock where the palms lean low By the map with the tear in the seam You call it a holy joke I call it a summer dream [Pre-Chorus] Oh, take the wheel Let the tide decide We chase that laugh To the other side [Chorus] Three headed monkey Swing me home Three headed monkey I’m never alone Monkey Island calling From the foam Three headed monkey Swing me home [Verse 2] You trade me a peeled lime coin For a compass made of bone We split one paper moon And leave the stiff men to their stones There’s rum in a chipped tin cup And trouble in the banana trees You say, “Keep your boots on, kid” I say, “Keep the stories free” [Pre-Chorus] Oh, take the wheel Let the tide decide We chase that laugh To the other side [Chorus] Three headed monkey Swing me home Three headed monkey I’m never alone Monkey Island calling From the foam Three headed monkey Swing me home [Bridge] On the sandbar, laughing hard At the curses and the claims We found treasure in the round Of the old made-up names If the moon goes thin tonight We’ll still know where we belong Three heads bobbing in the dark Three hearts beating strong [Chorus] Three headed monkey Swing me home Three headed monkey I’m never alone Monkey Island calling From the foam Three headed monkey Swing me home [Outro] Swing me home Swing me home Three headed monkey
