Monkey On My Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So very hot up in your room, a man can feel the danger
And you tell me, "it'll be soon", so i control my anger
Thought you said there's no danger here, that's when i can see your fear
The monkey (there's a monkey on my back)
On my back (there's a monkey on my back)
Is bleeding (there's a monkey on my back)
The monkey on my back is bleeding
The monkey on my back is bleeding
I'll try to tell you how i feel, it's got me counting the hours
It's not so unreal if you've got the special powers
Won't ever see the morning light, don't tell me it ain't right
The monkey (there's a monkey on my back)
On my back (there's a monkey on my back)
Is bleeding (there's a monkey on my back)
The monkey on my back is bleeding
The monkey on my back is bleeding
Monkey (there's a monkey on my back)
On my back (there's a monkey on my back)
Is bleeding (there's a monkey on my back)
The monkey on my back is bleeding
The monkey on my back is bleeding
