Monkey on a Chain |
Motorbike on the island |
Steering like an angry hornet |
I don’t belong in this ritzy palace |
Show me your shanty |
Show me your corrupted churches |
There’s a pearl in the mud |
There’s a penniless child next to a mansion in the sun |
There’s a monkey on a chain |
While his puppeteer pulls his strings for change |
I’m a honey-haired lonely traveler |
You’re a rice-picking lonely sailor |
And despite the language barrier |
I appreciate the gesture |
The museum is filling up with flies |
A rosary from the man with ebony eyes |
The barefoot children stick out their hands for coins |
The barefoot street men advertise their tricks and their noise |
There’s a pearl in the mud |
There’s a penniless child next to a mansion in the sun |
There’s a monkey on a chain |
While his puppeteer pulls his strings for change |
I’m an empty bar storyteller |
You’ve just made enough for dinner |
And despite the language barrier |
I appreciate the gesture |
