Welcome to the Monkeyhouse

I couldn't find these lyrics to this obscure hipster 1990s song anywhere on the Googles, so this is my best guess at what they might be. I feel the most unsure about the "I super glue" line from the chorus. It could plausibly be "I'm super good," "I super go," "I'm superglue," "I'm Supergirl," etc. Feel free to weigh in with your thoughts. 

"Welcome to the Monkeyhouse" by Knox Chandler and Maggie Estep (March 20, 1963 - February 12, 2014), Love is a Dog From Hell, 1997 Mouth Almighty Records/Mercury

By Mercury Records, Fair use

Let the riotous rumble start

Open up the valves of my heart

Let me stand on the edge of the world

With a grin on my face

Let me dance jaggedly

All over the place

Kiss me, I ache

Feed me, I want

What we all want

Try me, I'm good

Au naturel

I super glue

I will sail the fifty seas

By day, by night, and in between

I will swallow whole the night

And spit it back out turned to day

I will go where the wild things are

I will stretch and reach and romp

I'll sail into years and weeks

I will be queen of all the freaks

Several of the lyrics reference Maurice Sendak's text

Kiss me, I ache

Feed me, I want

What we all want

Try me, I'm good

Au naturel

I super glue

Humans are not the most important

The heir of one true life

And get lost in nothingness

The soul is a spark of light

An undying part of the huge hole

To come and go many turns

Of the air and earth and the Great Beyond

To unfold, to hold and release

A great breath, a spirit, and a sigh

Let the riotous rumble start

C'mon, make it dance in my heart

Attention shoppers, now hear this:

I am coming to understand the exact nature of this bliss

Kiss me, I ache

Feed me, I want

What we all want

Try me, I'm good

Au naturel

I super glue

Kiss me, I ache (x8)

(fade out)

In the above clip, Estep reads a piece by Jack Kerouac. One can hear the influence of the Beat poets in the verse that begins, "Humans are not the most important."

If you like Maggie Estep, I recommend to you the poet Jessie Lynn McMains (they/them or she/her pronouns; Jessie is nonbinary).
