I fell into a barrel of monkeys; I tried real hard but I couldn't get the money
he's calling me baby but he ain't my honey
I fell into a barrel of monkeys
it started with a rumor and it ended with a gun and somewhere in the middle I got burned up by the sun
when I rose up like a phoenix I was feeling #1
it just all goes to show you it ain't over 'til it's done
who what where and I don't know why but you're only as good as the drugs you buy
another suicide on the 405, another night of drinking in
another dive
there's a million dead stars in the night-time sky; I'd shed a little tear but there's no time left to cry
I saw a giant head driving down Hollywood Boulevard!
I came from the land of ice and snow seeking fame and fortune where the plastic grows
murder, earthquake, riot, fire--I tried to put it out
but it just fed my desire
I got a brand new name and a brand new nose
and the crowd keeps yelling "Baby go, go, go!"
I fell into a barrel of monkeys; I tried so hard but I couldn't get the money
love me two times except for Sunday
I fell into a barrel of monkeys
