about

The psychedelic vibe would suggest this song's also written in an alternate tuning but actually it is just standard tuning! The e-bow guitars are responsible. Google the title and read about psychologist Harry Harlow's sad social isolation experiments on rhesus monkeys.

lyrics

I told you son, don’t be sad
just wear a fun party hat
the disciples are here breaking the ice
notify the next of kin
and cast the ashes to the wind
he got the cyanide pills from an online store

in a well of despair
you turn to the wire and you will be fed
but you will cling to the cloth mother instead
you will cling to the cloth mother instead
but she’s a wire mother and she’s already left, now don’t get upset

‘cause you’re drilling a hole in your head
you’re filling your hole with the gaps
caress her pale cheek, monkey mother machine, I just wanted to sleep,
drilling a hole in your head
caress her pale cheek, monkey mother machine, I just wanted to sleep in a bed
