monkey
I got no money left to spend on you
monkey
why don't you leave me alone
monkey
I've had enough of all that attitude
monkey
why don't you just go away
take a look and see what it did to me
I'm going crazy
and it really don't matter
'cause it ain't getting better
monkey needs
leave me alone
monkey wants
I'm being crucified
monkey needs
leave me alone
the razor wire's pulling tighter, I can't fight it
monkey needs
monkey
I got no room in here for you no more
monkey
why can't you just leave me be
monkey
I'm fighting fire, pissing gasoline
monkey
there's nothing left to destroy
take a look and see what it did to me
I'm going crazy
and it really don't matter
'cause it ain't getting better
monkey needs
leave me alone
monkey wants
I'm being crucified
monkey needs
leave me alone
the razor wire's pulling tighter, I can't fight it
monkey needs
(solo)
monkey needs
leave me alone
monkey wants
I'm being crucified
monkey needs
leave me alone
the razor wire's pulling tighter, I can't fight it
monkey needs
living low, dying high
be an angel in the sky (monkey wants)
hit me with another and then hang me out to dry (monkey needs)
living low, dying high
be an angel in the sky
the razor wire's pulling tighter, I can't fight it
monkey needs
