Song Meanings by Band Name:

Coming out of my cage (he clearly came out of A MONKEY CAGE)
And I've been doing just fine (he meant to say 'i been drinking too much wine'.. makes sense cause he is drunk??)
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all (got to dwn the drink cos he wants it all)
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss (cos he was drunk he kissed the monkey and then found himself in the cage)

Now I'm falling asleep (he ko'd)
And she's calling a cab (the monkey said ‘I’m having a nap’ in monkey language)
While he's having a smoke (he tried getting out the cage through the chimney)
And she's taking a drag (the monkey dressed in drag)
Now they're going to bed (sex with monkey)
And my stomach is sick (hangover)
And it's all in my head (doesn't believe it true.. schizophrenic)
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now (he doesn't like the monkey in drag)
Let me go (the monkey screams)
I just can't look
It's killing me (he doesn't like his fetish for monkeys)
And taking control (the control officer from the zoo comes)

Jealousy (control officers are jealous)
Turning saints into the sea (when the priests came, he threw them into the sea)
Swimming through sick lullabies (then man was trying the sing them to sleep)
Choking on your alibis (they choked on his sick)
But it's just the price I pay (his parking ticket when he parked in the zoo)
Destiny is calling me(the monkey is called destiny)
Open up my eager eyes (misses the monkey gotta find it)
Cause I'm Mr. Brightside (he found he's the sun because the sun is bright)
