A gorillas existential crisis

Basket case

Elaborate lies
Weaving baskets
Ready to carry you away
when you’re wearing your best straitjacket

Freak

I’ve got shoes on my hands
And gloves on my feet
Got a nose that runs
Don’t know when we’ll next meet
Got eyes where ears used to be
And ears where eyes should’ve been
I cry a lot but the tears are my teeth
Falling out when I breathe
I tried to join the circus
But they said I was a freak!

Clown

I stepped onto the sky
And looked up to the ground
My head got lost in the clouds
My feet forgot which way was down
Walking on my hands
I frowned
“Which way is up on that faces clown?
Is that face clown reflection my?”

She said I’m a basket case
Well, what is a basket case anyway?
Carry me in a basket!
It’s better than a casket!

He says I’m deranged
Reality and I were never married
so we’re not exactly estranged

And I’ve heard reality
Is stranger than fiction
So what do I care anyway?
