Human Nature
3 Daft Monkeys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She talked to him of human nature as she turned out the
light.
She laid his head upon her shoulder as the darkness
consumed their sight.
They could have been there forever, or not been there
at all.
As they held each other softly and their dreams began
to fall.

She talked to him of human nature as they held each
other tight.
.He felt that he was getting older, and shed the purest
tears of fright.
They could have been there forever or not been there at
all.
As they pulled each other closer and the stars began to
fall.

She talked to him of human nature as they raced back
through their lives.
They travelled on the roller-coaster as their charms
filled in his eyes.
They could have been there forever or not been there at
all.
As they held each other's hopes and fears and the truth
destroyed their walls.

Hey little wonder, it'll be O.K.
Funny Miss Mystery, we're here to stay!

She talked to him of human nature when there's nothing
left at all.
He laid his head upon her shoulder and they began to
recall.
They could have been there forever or not been there at
all.
As they held each other's memories and the sky forgot




to fall.
End
