Lyrics:

The first track from Subtle’s second full-length album, For Hero: For Fool, released on Lex Records in 2006.
There's a carrot and an ape
There's a carrot and an ape
There's a carrot and an ape (Both dangling)
There's a carrot and an ape (Both dangling)
There's a carrot and an ape (Big on stage)
There's a carrot and an ape (Both dangling)
There's a carrot and an ape (Big on stage)
There's a carrot and an ape

The ape's lucky leather jacket has turned up missing
And he's shouting out something about stretching his threat
To drop a stainless steel egg
Onto a poor defenseless hand mirror or else
Hence the intergalactic presses have been halted accordingly
Their consummate plug been kicked from the outer-space wall
And then and only then does the nightclub's only spotlight
Get to stu-stu-stu-stu-stuttering
The air this here ape's in charge of
Has now grown doubly thick
So it unzips its twenty odd year old skin
To reveal something sick
The air this here ape's in charge of
Has now grown doubly thick
So it unzips its twenty odd year old skin
To reveal something sick (And to the record maker!)

On roller skates (Roller skates, roller skates)
On roller skates (Roller skates, roller skates)
On roller skates (Roller skates, roller skates)
On roller skates (Roller skates, roller skates)
And the crowd goes wild
And the crowd goes wild
And the crowd goes wild
And needs a line to repeat (And the crowd goes wild)
Cuts clean across your clenched teeth
And the crowd goes wild
And needs a line to repeat (And the crowd goes wild)
Cuts clean across your clenched teeth

E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G-I-S-E-M-P-T-Y (and it runneth over)

Letting off the small fear fire
Set tall in your just beyond merch booth bound chest
Letting off the small fear fire
Set tall in your just beyond merch booth bound chest
Letting off the small fear fire
Set tall in your just beyond merch booth bound chest
Letting off the small fear fire
Set tall in your just beyond merch booth bound chest
