Auntie's Municipal Court
The Monkees · Original Album Series [2012]
Fine man, crazy man, he can't see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Why do the people always look at me?
Nobody here can see that we are you, we are you
She's him, too, she's him, too
Fine man, crazy man, he can't see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Hmm, Hmm...
Solid brass statuary guards the door
Used to come as one, now it comes as four
Somebody here just sent for more
Red and yellow cartoons saying we need two, we need two
More than you, more than you.
Solid brass statuary guards the door
Used to come as one, now it comes as four
Hmm, Hmm...
Somebody stole their minds
Somebody stole their minds
They say they can't find
What is kind, what is kind
Somebody stole their minds
Somebody stole their minds
They say they can't find
What is kind, what is kind
Fine man, crazy man, he can't see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Why do the people walk away from me
Nobody here wants to see that we are you, we are you
She's him, too, she's him, too
Fine man, crazy man, he can't see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Hmm, hmm...
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Hmm, Hmm...
Hmmm...
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Why do the people always look at me?
Nobody here can see that we are you, we are you
She's him, too, she's him, too
Fine man, crazy man, he can't see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Hmm, Hmm...
Solid brass statuary guards the door
Used to come as one, now it comes as four
