Planet of the Apes

You gave me a pet name which is not to say I like it
We met at a party not to say I was invited
You said love was just a lie
But I could tell that you were lying
And we almost figured out how we get along
And given time we find it strange to be alone
And you work in a hotel at the magazine concession
"Back in just five minutes" reads the sign above your station
Slip your profits in a bag
And you're looking up to the hour hand
And we almost figured out how we get along
And given time we find it strange to be alone and
You just forgot your one pet name for me
And all those promises you said you'd keep
And it's a lucky thing because that sentimental stuff doesn't suit you
at all
Waiting at the bus stop for just about an hour
Strategies for hangman, cat's cradle, origami
You say I'm OK for a guy
But I can tell that you are lying
And we've almost figured out how we get along
And given time we'll find it strange to be alone and
You just forgot your one pet name for me
And all those promises you said you'd keep
And it's a lucky thing because that sentimental stuff doesn't
You just forgot your one pet name for me
And all those promises you said you'd keep
And it's a lucky thing because that sentimental stuff doesn't suit you
at all
