Saves The Day Picture
This Princeton, N.J., band got together when its members were 13, signed a label deal while still in high school, and went on to sell thousands of records, tour with Blink-182and Weezer, and land songs on the playlist of Los Angeles’ KROQ. Saves the Day’s new album, SOUND THE ALARM was released April 11, 2006 on Vagrant Records. Saves The Day’s album, In Reverie (released Sept. 16, 2003, on DreamWorks Records), finds their creativity in full flower. Singer-songwriter-guitarist Chris Conley’s lacerating, frequently existential lyrics provide sharp counterpoint to his sweet melodic sensibility as the band exercises their penchant for a variety of rock, punk and pop hooks.

Monkey Lyrics

Saves The Day

hello me. are you in there?
making sure you're not dead
smelled some rotting flesh

i heard you left him alone
sun's up with open roads
get down, freak out
the time is right now

drop your things and burn your clothes
why we're here, no one knows
wathc the bobs explode

he sold you a dream and caved you up like meat
laid down the law, locked your heart behind bars

while you were sleeping he would whisper in your ear
"the monkey will bite
better eat your poultry, too
there's no use, don't try to ask the doctor
what's going on inside your head
just fall out and get in line like all good soldiers do"

you awoke to his game
running circles in your brain
can't believe your eyes

what's up? what's down?
he spun you around
what's near? what's far?
god knows what you are
can you remeber when this began?

"the monkey will bite
better eat your poultry, too
there's no use, don't try to ask the doctor
what's going on inside your head, it's pretend
there's no meaning just stare at the ceiling
and play dead for your whole life"
