Tom: G#5
 [Intro]
      G#5
      When you go on camping trips,
      F#5                        B5        G#5   B5
      You're stuck right out in nature.
  E5                F#5                                       
      Foraging the forests like a primate.
  E5                   F#5                           G#5   B5
      Using sharpened tools instead of hot plates

 [Verses]
        E5
   Your thumb and forefinger

        Sometimes when I lie awake,

        when I finally get to sleep,
        F#5                            B5             G#5   B5
        supposed to show you're not a wild beast.

        I hear the rainfall on my     tent fly.

        I dream in Techni             color.
        E5                  F#5
        You can hear their noises at night time

        I think of all the insects that are sleeping,

        I see creatures    come back from the Ice Age
        E5                  F#5                        G#5   B5
        They don't have to keep a certain bed time.          

        and wonder if the  animals are dreaming.             

        alive and being    fed inside a zoo cage.

 [Chorus]
   F#5         G#5          E5
   See in the shapes of my body
   F#5       G#5            E5                  F#5
   leftover parts from the apes and monkeys

 [Extended Chorus (play 2nd and 3d time through)]
   C5                  D5
   In the days of the caveman,
       G5             E5
   and mammoths, and glaciers.
   C5                        D5
   Bugs and trees were your food then
   G5              E5         C5   G5
   no pajamas, or doctors.
