We All Fall / Like a Monkey

Weird sort of mood, down but don't know why.

Two songs resonate - Kleptones, We All Fall Through the Air:

Wise men say
It looks like rain today
It crackled on the speakers
And trickled down the sleepy subway trains
For heavy eyes could hardly hold us
Aching legs that often told us
It’s all worth it
We all fall in love sometimes

(yes originally by Elton. How embarassing...)

and Daniel Johnston, Monkey in a Zoo:

I'm chained to the wall.
I have nothin' at all.
And my eyes look into the sunset
Thinkin' of better things to do,
Like a monkey in a zoo.

The days go so slow.
I don't have no friends.
Except all these people
Who want me to do tricks for them,
Like a monkey in a zoo.

And it could happen to you.
You could be in my place.
No it wasn't always like this,
But I never saw it comin'.

I'm so alone,
But this is my home.
And the bars that surround me
Keep me from knowin' any better,
Like a monkey in a zoo.

Throw me a peanut.
Laugh and make jokes.
But I've had enough peanuts
And I'm ready to choke,
Like a monkey in a zoo

You come to look at me.
You seem so amused.
But things would look different
If you were in my shoes.

I know its my fault,
But I want out.
And when I cry out
Nobody seems to understand,
Like a monkey in a zoo

You say I'm cute.
You don't know how much that hurts.
You don't know how it feels
To live in your own dirt,
Like a monkey in a zoo

And it could happen to you.
You could be in my place.
Don't let yourself slip.
Don't keep egg on your face.

I used to be happy.
I cant remember those days.
But I sold my freedom
For free room and board,
Like a monkey in a zoo.
