Monkey In The Middle |
| «Give us a break |
| We know you want to see him |
| But let’s not give him the feeling, uh |
| That all we are is curiosity seekers |
| If you could fall back a little bit |
| Give him a break, he’s got a big job to do today.» |
| Well I was born a little apple seed |
| No one seemed to notice me |
| Stealing kisses in the dark |
| From two sisters hard to tell apart |
| I was the monkey in the middle |
| But I never get caught |
| From the pump and dump to the bait and switch |
| I can do 'em all with the flick of a wrist |
| Even as a pup down on the farm |
| I never met a beast I couldn’t charm |
| I was the monkey in the middle |
| And I never get caught |
| Yeah, I was the monkey in the middle |
| And I never get caught |
| Well St. Petersburg’s a funky town |
| There’s money to be made if you ask around |
| Microfilm, discotheques, cash in hand |
| And traveler’s checks |
| I was the monkey in the middle |
| And I never got caught |
| Yeah, I was the monkey in the middle |
| And I never got caught |
| Alright |
| And I never got caught |
| And I NEVER got caught |
| Ahh… watch me now! |
| Well, Cleopatra ruled the Nile with an iron fist |
| Some folks they just couldn’t handle it |
| They hunted down my river queen |
| Nobody laid a hand on me |
| I was the monkey in the middle |
| But I never got caught |
| She owned the heart of Egypt land |
| They say she died by her own hand |
| But it was a harmless game of truth or dare |
| She grabbed that snake and held it there |
| I was the monkey in the middle |
| And I never got caught |
| Yeah, I was the monkey in the middle |
| And I never got caught |
| Alright |
| And I never got caught |
| And I NEVER got caught |
| And… watch me now! |
| Well, I came into this world unknown |
| I’ve seen so many good people come and go |
| But I got no gray hairs upon my head |
| And I kept my cool to the bitter end |
| I’m the monkey in the middle |
| And I never get caught |
| You let Jesus make your dying bed |
| Tell him I’ve got other plans instead |
| Take the Reaper off his rounds |
| I can shut my own light out |
| I’m the monkey in the middle |
| And I NEVER get caught |
| Yeah, I’m the monkey in the middle |
| And I never get caught |
| Mr. Guitar Player! |
| «I guess it just be that way sometimes… |
| I guess it just be that way sometimes… |
| Ooh I guess it just be that way sometimes…» |
