Lyrics Monkey Man - Thompson Twins

Monkey Man

You see the gentleman over there?
He did so well in school
He played it safe, no ragged edges
He knew all the rules
He read books about life in Bohemia, kept his desires in line
You never know just who might be lookin' and question your state of mind
I am the Monkey Man
Dance with me
Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa yeah
I am the Monkey Man
In your dreams
There’s no escaping me
You see the gentleman over there?
He is his father’s son
He knows so many facts and figures
He knows nothing about love
He has dreams he can’t explain
He hears small creatures from 'round
He feels the rhythm, he smells the flowers
Life is weeping to the ground
Yeah yeah yeah
I am the Monkey Man
Dance with me
Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa yeah
I am the Monkey Man
In your dreams
There’s no escaping me
Passion is a flower that grows in a tree in some other garden like mine
If love is just a game, just another name, then it’s not even worth a try
See the gentleman over there?
You might envy his life
He’s got two houses, one in the country
He’s got a beautiful wife
He lives in fear, he lives in hope
He might lose control
The animal, yeah, that might escape a man and lead him to his soul
Yeah yeah yeah
I am the Monkey Man
Dance with me
Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa yeah
I am the Monkey Man
In your dreams
There’s no escaping me
There’s no escaping
There’s no escaping
There’s no escaping me
I am the Monkey Man
In your dreams
There’s no escaping me
I am the Monkey Man
Dance with me
Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa yeah
I am the Monkey Man
In your dreams
