The Conglomerate/Harry James Angus - Lyrics - Yakini (The Last Gorilla)

Song title: Yakini (The Last Gorilla)
Written by: The Conglomerate/Harry James Angus
Recordings:
- Live at the Famous Spiegeltent (2008)

Lyrics:
Yakini, sits and stares out the window
As the orange clouds, in the evening glow
Tumble like water, way down below
Like an ocean that's rolling on home

Yakini, wakes up early before dawn
And the spaceships rumble, as the world is born
And the sun comes up on a distant shore
Like an ocean that's rolling on home

They put a chip in his head, and a machine on his hand and suddenly
When he spoke to them, they could understand,
He said "you scientists are great,
But I sure miss my friends and I want to go home, and see them, again"
He said "don't get me wrong I love it here too,
Spaceships and sunsets, well it's a hell of a view
But every wave must go back to its shore and its time that I was rolling on home"

Yakini, they said "we don't quite know how to put this,
And we wish we could have told you a long time ago
But the forests are gone and the oceans are too
And the last gorilla is you"
