1. _ Lay His Head
I know that i seem strange to you sometimes
And who is it in here, you have often thought
But what can i tell you
That you don't know already?
Yes, even the times like this
Will roll away
But i love you (i love you)
I love you (i love you)
That's all that i ever really wanted
I know that it will work out all the same
And whoever it is in here can overcome the pain
A true friend's shoulder to lean on
I'll make it through
And over and over
I feel for you
But i love you (i love you)
I love you (i love you)
That's all that i ever really wanted
Oh yeah, you know that sometimes a man
He has nowhere to lay his head
But what can i tell you
That you don't know already?
Yes, even the worst time like this
Will blow away
But i love you (i love you)
I love you (i love you)
That's all that i ever really wanted
Oh yeah, you know that sometimes a man
He has nowhere to lay his head, nowhere, i said nowhere
Nowhere to lay his head
Oh what can i tell you
That you don't know already?

2. _ Deep Blue
When sunshine is not enough
To make me feel bright
It's got me suffering in the darkness
That's so easy come by on the road-side
Of one loong life-time
It's got me deep blue
You know i'm deep blue
When you stand there, watch tired bodies
Full of sickness and pain
To show you just how helpless you really are
When you get down to the truth
It hurts me
It's got me deep blue
You know i'm deep blue
When i think of the life i'm living
Pray god help me; give me your light
So i can love you and understand
This repetition that keeps me here
Feeling deep blue
It's got me deep blue
You know i'm deep blue

3. _ End Of The Line
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, doing the best you can
Well it's all right, as long as you lend a hand
You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
Waiting for someone to tell you everything
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
Maybe a diamond ring
Well it's all right, even if they say you're wrong
Well it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
Well it's all right, as long as you got somewhere to lay
Well it's all right, everyday is judgment day
Maybe somewhere down the road aways
You'll think of me, wonder where i am these days
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays
Purple haze
Well it's all right, even when push comes to shove
Well it's all right, if you got someone to love
Well it's all right, everything'll work out fine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line
Don't have to be ashamed of the car i drive
I'm glad to be here, happy to be alive
It don't matter if you're by my side
I'm satisfied
Well it's all right, even if you're old and gray
Well it's all right, you still got something to say
Well it's all right, remember to live and let live
Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

4. _ Last Night
She was there at the bar, she heard my guitar
She was long and tall, she was the queen of them all
Last night, thinking about last night
Last night, thinking about last night
She was dark and discreet, she was light on her feet
We went up to her room and she lowered the boom
Last night, thinking about last night
Last night, thinking about last night
Down below they danced and sang in the street
While up above the walls were steaming with heat
Last night, thinking about last night
Last night, thinking about last night
I was feeling no pain, feeling good in my brain
I looked in her eyes, they were full of surprise
Last night, talking about last night
Last night, talking about last night
I asked her to marry me she smiled and pulled out a knife
The party's just beginning she said, it's your money or you life
Last night, talking about last night
Last night, talking about last night
Now i'm back at the bar, she went a little too far
She done me wrong, all i got is this song
Last night, thinking about last night
Last night, thinking about last night

5. _ Poor House
You walk in, half past nine
Lookin like a queen
Serving me with papers
Calling me obscene
Woman i've tried so hard
Just to do my best
They're gonna put me in the poor house
And you'll take all the rest
Up all day, down all night
Working on the job
Everything i do is wrong
I always end up [..]
Woman i try so hard
Done all i can do.
They're gonna put me in the poor house
Keep all the best for you.
Ooh, in the poor house
Ooh, in the poor house
If a drove a pulpwood truck
Would you love me more?
Will you bring me diamonds
And hang around my door
Woman, i've done my best
They're ain't much left for me
They're gonna put me in the poor house
And throw away the key (in the poor house)
Ooh, in the poor house
You walked in, half past nine
Lookin like a queen
Serving me with papers
Calling me obscene
Woman i've tried so hard
Just to do my best
They're gonna put me in the poor house
And you'll take all the rest
In the poor house
Ooh, in the poor house
In the poor house
Ooh, in the poor house

6. _ Margarita
Margarita, ah
Margarita, ah
Ooh
It was in pittsburgh late one night
I lost my hat, got into a fight
I rolled and tumbled till i saw the light
Went to the big apple, took a bite
Still the sun went down your way
Down from the blue into the gray
Where i stood i saw you walk away
You danced away
I asked her what we're gonna do tonight
She said "cahuenga langa-langa-shoe box soup"
We better keep tryin' till we get it right
Tala mala sheela jaipur dhoop
She wrote a long letter on short piece of paper
Oh margarita don't stay away too long
Come on home
Oh margarita don't say you will when you won't

7. _ I Don't Care Anymore
(speech:)
"ok here we go, for this
We got a b-side to make, ladies and gentlemen,
We haven't got much time now so we better get
Right on with it"
I don't care anymore
And i'll kick down anybody's door
To hold you in my arms once more
I'd go anywhere
Y'know i don't care
If your man should get uptight
'cause we've been alone for most of the night
Now realize it's our right
To get back up them stairs
Y'know i don't care
There's a line i can draw
That often leaves me wanting more
But it's not so often that i feel so sure
Nothing i can do
To stop me falling more in love with you
It can't be so bad
What you want that you do not have
It's got you too upset now
I don't think it's unfair
Y'know i don't care
Anymore
And i'll kick down anybody's door
To hold you in my arms once more
I'd go anywhere
Y'know i
(very nice, tony)

8. _ Miss O'dell
I'm the only one down here
Who's got nothing to say
About the war
Or the rice
That keeps going astray on its way to bombay.
And the smog that keeps polluting up our shores
Is boring me to tears.
Why don't you call me, miss o'dell?
I'm the only one down here
Who's got nothing to fear
From the waves
Or the night
That keeps rolling on right up to my front porch.
The record player's broken on the floor,
And ben, he can't restore it.
Miss o'dell.
I can tell you
Nothing new
Has happened since i last saw you.
And i'm the only one down here
Who's got nothing to say
About the hip
Or the dope
Or the cat with most hope to fill the fillmore.
And your pushing, shoving, ringing on my bell
Is not for me tonight.
So, won't you call me, miss o'dell?
Won't you call me, miss o'dell?

9. _ My Back Pages
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"we'll meet on edges, soon," said i
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but i was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"rip down all hate," i screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. i dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but i was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow.
Ah, but i was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"equality," i spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but i was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
In a soldier's stance, i aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that i'd become my enemy
In the instant that i preach
My existence led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but i was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, i define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but i was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

10. _ She's My Baby
She's got her pudding in the oven
And it's gonna be good
She better not leave me
And go out to hollywood
She got the best pudding in the neighborhood
She's my baby
She can drive a truck
She can drive a train (my baby, ma-ma my baby)
She can even drive an aeroplane
She's so good to look at in the rain
She's my baby
She's comin' down the sidewalk
She's stumblin through the door
She's coming home from places she's never been before
She sits down on the sofa
She poors herself a drink
Says, "honey, honey, honey ain't no time to think"
My baby
My baby
My baby
She's got a body for business
Got a head for sin
She knocks me over like a bowling pin
She came home last night and said
"honey, honey, honey it's hard to get ahead."
My baby
My baby
She can build a boat
She can make it float (my baby, ma-ma my baby)
She can play my guitar
Note for note
She likes to stick her tongue right down my throat
She's my baby
My baby
My baby
My baby (repeat and fade)

11. _ Sunshine Life For Me (sail Away Raymond)
It's sunshine life for me
If i could get away from this cloud over me
Seems to just follow me around
There's a good life had for free
When you're out in the country
That's what i could use
If i could get away there soon
It's a sunshine life for me
If i could get away from this cloud over me
Seems to just follow me around
There's a good life had at sea
If you're not in the navy
That's the life for you
Sail away raymond, sail away
Now most folks just bore me
Always imposing, and i'd rather meet a tree
Somewhere out in the cornfield
And it's a sunshine . . .
It's a sunshine life for me
If i could get away from this cloud over me
Seems to just follow me around

12. _ Badge
I'm thinking about the times you drove in my car
I'm thinking that i might have drove you too far
I'm thinking of the love
That you laid on my table
I told you not to wander 'round in the dark
I told you 'bout the swans that they live in the park
Then i told you about 'our kid'
Now he's married to mabel
Yes i told you that the life goes up and down
Notice how the wheel goes round?
And you'd better pick yourself up from the ground
Before they bring the curtain down
Yes before they bring the curtain down
Talking about a girl that looks quite like you
She didn't have the time to wait in the queue
She cried away her life since she fell out the cradle

13. _ Rattled
I get rattled every time we meet
I get rattled even in my sleep
I get rattled, baby, over you
I get twisted, i get turned around
I get twisted, and i'm up then i'm down
I get twisted, baby, over you
Well, baby, baby, baby won't you save one night for me
Baby, baby, baby is there something wrong with you
Baby, baby, baby this is out of my control
It may look like nothing's wrong but deep down in my soul
I'm twisted - shaken - rattled
I get rattled, baby, over you
Well, baby, baby, baby won't you save one night for me
Baby, baby, baby is there something wrong with you
Baby, baby, baby this is out of my control
It may look like nothing's wrong but deep down in my soul
I'm twisted - shaken - rattled
I get rattled, baby, over you
I get shaken, i'm torn up by the roots
Yeah, i'm shakin', way down in my boots
I get rattled, baby, over you
I get rattled, baby, over you
Rattled, baby, over you

Watch out when you step in
For seven deadly sins

Watch out aroung the bend (seven deadly sins)
A seven deadly sins (seven deadly sins)
(sin number four) was when you looked my way
(sin number five) was when you smiled
(sin number six) was when you let me stay
Sin number seven was when you touched me and told me why

So many rules to bend
Time and time again

17. _ Congratulations
Congratulations for breaking my heart
Congratulations for tearing it all apart
Congratulations you finally did succeed
Congratulations for leaving me in need
This morning i looked out my window and found
A bluebird singing but there was no one around
At night i lay alone in my bed
With an image of you goin' around in my head
Congratulations for bringing me down
Congratulations now i'm sorrow bound
Congratulations you got a good deal
Congratulations how good you must feel
I guess that i must have loved you more than i ever knew
My would is empty now cause it don't have you
And if i had just one more chance to wind your heart again
I would do things differently but what's the use to pretend
Congratulations for making me wait
Congratulations now it's too late
Congratulations you came out on top
Congratulations you never did know when to stop
Congratulations

Looking for a new blue moon

Waiting for you

19. _ Dirty World
He love your sexy body, he loves your dirty mind
He loves when you hold him when you grab him from behind
Oh baby, you're such a pretty thing
I can't wait to introduce you to the other members of my gang
You don't need no wax job, you're smooth enough for me
If you need you oil changed i'll do it for you free
Oh baby, the pleasure would be all mine
If you let me drive your pickup truck and park it where the
Sun don't shine
Every time he touches you his hair stands up on end
His legs begin to quiver and his mind begins to bend
Oh baby, you're such a tasty treat
But i'm under doctor's orders, i'm afraid to overeat
He love your sense of humor, your disposition too
There's absolutely nothing that he don't love about you
Oh baby, i'm on my hands and knees
Life would be so simple if i only had you to please
Oh baby, turn around and say goodbye
You go to the airport now and i'm going home to cry
He loves your...

Red bell peppers
Fuel injection

Five-speed gearbox

20. _ Wilbury Twist
Put your hand on your head
Put your foot in the air
Then you hop around in the room
In your underwear
Ain't ever bin nothin' quite like this
Come on baby do the wilbury twist
Lift your other foot up
Fall on your ass
Get back up,
Put your teeth in a glass
Ain't ever bin nothin' quite like this
It's a magical thing called the wilbury twist
Roll up your rug,
Dust your broom
Ball the jack,
Howl at the moon
Ain't ever bin nothin' quite like this
Everybody's tryin' to do the wilbury twist
Turn your lights down low
Put your blindfold on
You'll never know
Where your friends have gone
Could be years before you're missed
Everybody's trying to do the wilbury twist
It's a different dance
For you all to do
Spin your body like a screw
Better not forget it on your shopping list
You can stop and buy one it's the wilbury twist

23. _ Cool Dry Place
Well i woke up this morning
The place was such a reck
I couldn't reach the bathroom
Thought i'd better clear the deck
I tried to call the lawyer
And ask him what to do
He referred me to his doctor
Who referred me back to you
And when you checked the manual
You kept in side the case
It said 'put it in a cool dry place'
I drove around the city
Looking for a room
That was high above the water
Where my things could be in tune
There was no one to help me
Nobody even cared
I had to got through hell
To get those things up there
I paid my first subscription
Then i joined the idle race
And they said 'store it in a cool dry place'
I got guitar, basses, amplifiers and drums
Accordions and mandolis and things that sometimes hum
Cymbals and harmonicas, capos by the score
And lots of things in boxes laying all around the floor
Some places they get mildew
And others get too hot
Some places are so damp that
Everything you got just rots
All kinds of condensation
Directories of the rain
There's not much compensation
When everything's been stained
Some have sentimental value that
Cannot be erased
Go store it in a cool dry place
We got solids and acoustics
And some from flowered board
And some are trimmed in leather
And some are made with gourds
There's organs and trombones
And reverbs we can use
Lots of dx-7s
And old athletic shoes
I bought a great big building
It took up one whole block
I made an inventory
Of all the things in stock
The place was getting longer
I was up all night
I used up all my pencils
But i went onto spite
The blury of my vision
The sweat upon my face
I've got to put this stuff away
I mustn't leave a trace
The landlord's breathing down my neck
He say's it's a disgrace
So i said 'put it in a cool, dry, place.'

24. _ Handle With Care
Been beat up and battered 'round
Been sent up, and i've been shot down
You're the best thing that i've ever found
Handle me with care
Reputations changeable
Situations tolerable
Baby, you're adorable
Handle me with care
I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care
Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine, and dream on
I've been fobbed off, and i've been fooled
I've been robbed and ridiculed
In day care centers and night schools
Handle me with care
Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed, commercialized
Hand me with care
I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care
Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine, and dream on
I've been uptight and made a mess
But i'll clean it up myself, i guess
Oh, the sweet smell of success
Handle me with care

25. _ Sour Milk Sea
If your life's not right, doesn't satisfy you
Don't get the breaks like some of us do
Better work it out; find where you've gone wrong
Better do it soon as you don't have long
Get out of sour milk sea
You don't belong there
Get back to where you should be
Find out what's going on there
If you want the most from everything you do
In the shortest time your dreams come true
In no time at all it makes you more aware
Very simple process takes you there
Get out of sour milk sea
You don't belong there
Get back to where you should be
Find out what's going on there
Looking for release from limitation?
There's nothing much without illumination
Can fool-around with every different cult
There's only one way brings result
Get out of sour milk sea
You don't belong there
Get back to where you should be
Find out what's going on there

26. _ Where Were You Last Night
Where were you last night?
You were so uptight
What did you do, who did you see?
Were you with someone
Who reminded you of me?
Where were you last night?
Where were you last week?
Were you up a creek?
Did you stay up pacing the floor?
Got me worried
You ignore me more and more
Where were you last night?
You weren't around me
When they found me
Where were you last night?
You'd better stop your messin around
Your name is going round from town to town
It's making me sad
Making me feel bad
Where were you last night?
Where were you last year?
You're sure as [...]
You weren't waiting where you said
You sent someone in your place instead
Where were you last night?
It's getting to me
Making me gloomy
Where were you last night?

27. _ Not Alone Anymore
You always said that i'd be back again
That i'd come running to you in the end
I thought that you were on your own
And now i find you're not alone
I'll see you through the rain
Through the heartache and pain
It hurts like never before
You're not alone any more
You always said that i would know someday
Just how it feels when your love walks away
I let you down i let you go
I lost you, how was i to know
I'll see you through the rain
Through the heartache and pain
It hurts like never before
You're not alone any more
I never knew i could feel this way
I never could see past yesterday
You feel that everything is gone
I feel it too, you're not alone
I'll see you through the rain
Through the heartache and pain
It hurts like never before
You're not alone any more

28. _ Inside Out
Look out your window
That grass ain't green
It's kinda yellow
See what i mean?
Look up your chimney
The sky ain't blue
It's kinda yellow
You know it's true
(it's so hard to figure what it's all about)
When your outsides in (inside out)
And your downsides up (upside down)
Yeah, your upsides right (rightside up)
Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist and shout
When you're inside out
Look down your drain pipe
What color do you see?
It's got to be yellow
Don't try to fool me
(and don't it make you wanna twist and shout)
When your outsides in (inside out)
And your downsides up (upside down)
Yeah, your upsides right (rightside up)
Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist and shout
When you're inside out
Be careful where you're walking
You might step in something rough
Be careful where you're talking
And saying all that stuff
Take care when you are breathing
Something's funny in the air
And somethings i'm not saying
'bout what's happening out there
It's inside out
Look into the future
With your mystic crystal ball
See if it ain't yellow
See if it's there at all
(ain't no shadow or a doubt)
(don't it make you wanna twist and shout)
When your outsides in (inside out)
And your downsides up (upside down)
Yeah, your upsides right (rightside up)
Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist and shout
When you're inside out
(inside out)
(right side up)
Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist and shout
When you're inside out
Inside out

29. _ Heading For The Light
I've wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands
I was lost in the night with no sight of you
And at times it was so blue and lonely
Heading for the light
Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails
I've rolled and i've tumbled through the roses and the thorns
And i couldn't see the sign that warned me, i'm
Heading for the light
Ooh - i didn't see that big black cloud hanging over me
And when the rain came down i was nearly drowned
I didn't know the mess i was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but i feel a lot of change
And i get the strangest feeling, as i'm
Heading for the light
Ooh - my hands were tired
Jokers and fools on either side
But still i kept on till the worst had gone
Now i see the hole i was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but i feel a lot of change
And i get the strangest feeling, as i'm
Heading for the light
I see the sun ahead, i ain't never looking back
All the dreams are coming true as i think of you
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light

30. _ Absolutely Sweet Marie
(can you handle another guitar hero?
Let me give you a little clue:
Hallelujah, hare krishna, yeah yeah yeah !
George harrison!)
Well, your railroad gate, you know i just can't jump it
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
With all these promises you left for me
But where are you tonight, sweet marie?
Well, i waited for you when i was half sick
Yes, i waited for you when you hated me
Well, i waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
When you knew i had some other place to be
Now, where are you tonight, sweet marie?
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Well, six white horses that you did promise
Were fin'lly delivered down to the penitentiary
But to live outside the law, you must be honest
I know you always say that you agree
Well, where are you tonight, sweet marie?
Well, i don't know how it happened
But the river-boat captain, he knows my fate
Ev'rybody else, even yourself
Just gonna have to wait.
Well, i got the fever down in my pockets
The persian drunkard follows me
And i can take him to your house but i cannot unlock it
You see, you forgot to leave me with the key
Yeah, where are you tonight, sweet marie?
Yeah, where are you tonight, sweet marie?

31. _ You Took My Breath Away
You took my breath away
I want it back again
Look at the mess i'm in
I don't know what to say
I don't know how to feel
You don't care anyway
All i can do is wait
You took my breath away
You took this song of mine
And changed the middle bit
It used to sound alright
But now the words don't fit
It's getting hard to rhyme
Impossible to play
I've tried it many times
You took my breath away
One day when the sun is shining
There will be that silver lining
You knocked my headlights out
So turn them on again
I can't see where i'm going
I can't tell where i've been
I don't know how to feel
This hasn't been my day
Seems like i've lost a wheel
You took my breath away
You took my breath away
You took my breath away
You took my breath away

32. _ The Devil's Been Busy
While you're strolling down the fairway
Showing no remorse
Glowing from the poisons
They've sprayed on your golf course
While you're busy sinking birdies
And keeping your scorecard
The devil's been busy in your back yard
Steaming down the highway
With your trucks of toxic waste
Where you gonna hide it
In the outer space?
You don't know what you're doing
Or what you have to guard
The devil's been busy in your back yard
Sometimes you think you're crazy
But you know you're only mad
Sometimes you're better off not knowing
How much you've been had
You see your second cousin
Wasted in a fight
You say he had it coming
You couldn't do it right
You're in a western movie, playing the part
The devil's been busy in your back yard
Sometimes they say you're wicked
But you know that can't be bad
Sometimes you're better off not knowing
It'll only make you sad
They're coming down picadilly
Dripping at the dash
Wasting sticky willy
Covering him with their cash
They just might not have noticed, they've been beating him so hard
And the devil's been busy in your back yard
Devil's been busy in your back yard
Devil's been busy in your back yard

33. _ If You Belonged To Me
Waltzing round the room tonight
In someone else's clothes
You're always coming out of things
Smelling like a rose
You hang your head and your heart is filled with so much misery
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
You say let's go to the rodeo
And see some cowboy fall
Sometimes it seems to me you've
Got no sympathy at all
You keep on going on and on about how you're so free
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
It ain't easy to get to you
But there must be some kind of a way
If only two could look to you
For only one moment of each day
You're saying that you're all washed up
Got nothing else to give
Seems like you never figured out
How long you have to live
You could feel like a baby again sitting on your daddy's knee
Oh how happy you would be
If you belonged to me
The guy your with is a ruthless pimp
Everybody knows
Every cent he takes from you
Goes straight up his nose
You look so sad, you're going so mad, any fool can see
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me

34. _ I Don't Want To Do It
Looking back upon my youth--
The time i always knew the truth.
I don't want to do it.
I don't want to say goodbye.
To go back in the yard and play--
If i could only have another day.
I don't want to do it.
I don't want to make you cry.
To go back
On the hill beside the track
And try to concentrate.
All in all the places that i want to be,
No, it shows you that i could not wait.
So come back into my arms again.
This love of ours, it has no end.
I don't want to do it.
I don't want to make you cry.
I don't want to do it.
I don't want to say goodbye.
I don't want to do it.
I don't want to see you cry.
To go back
On the hill beside the track
And try to concentrate.
All in all the places that i want to be,
No, it shows you that i could not wait.
So come back into my arms again.
This love of ours, it has no end.
I don't want to do it.
I don't want to say goodbye.
I don't want to do it.
I don't want to say goodbye.
I don't want to do it.
I don't want to make you cry.

35. _ Tweeter And The Monkey Man
Tweeter and the monkey man were hard up for cash
They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash
To an undercover cop who had a sister named jan
For reasons unexplained she loved the monkey man
Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to vietnam
And found out the hard way nobody gives a damn
They knew that they found freedom just across the jersey line
So they hopped into a stolen car took highway 99
And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
The undercover cop never liked the monkey man
Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named bill
She made secret calls to the monkey man from a mansion on the hill
It was out on thunder road - tweeter at the wheel
They crashed into paradise - they could hear them tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up and said "everyone of you's a liar
If you don't surrender now it's gonna go down to the wire
And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
An ambulance rolled up - a state trooper close behind
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind
The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree
Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory
Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit
He was taking the whole thing personal
He didn't care about the loot
Jan had told him many times it was you to me who taught
In jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught
And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
Someplace by rahway prison they ran out of gas
The undercover cop had cornered them said "boy, you didn't think that this could last"
Jan jumped out of bed said "there's someplace i gotta go"
She took a gun out of the drawer and said "it's best if you don't know"
The undercover cop was found face down in a field
The monkey man was on the river bridge using tweeter as a shield
Jan said to the monkey man "i'm not fooled by tweeter's curl
I knew him long before he ever became a jersey girl"
And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
Now the town of jersey city is quieting down again
I'm sitting in a gambling club called the lion's den
The tv set been blown up, every bit of it is gone
Ever since the nightly news show that the monkey man was on
I guess i'll go to florida and get myself some sun
There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done
Sometime i think of tweeter, sometime i think of jan
Sometime i don't think about nothing but the monkey man
And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
