《Tweeter And The Monkey Man》歌词

[00:00:00] Tweeter And The Monkey Man - King of the Road

[00:00:09] Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash

[00:00:13] They stayed up all night selling coc*ine and hash

[00:00:18] To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan

[00:00:22] For reasons unexplained she loved the Monkey Man

[00:00:26] Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to Vietnam

[00:00:30] And found out the hard way nobody gives a damn

[00:00:35] They knew that they found freedom

[00:00:37] Just across the Jersey Line

[00:00:39] So they hopped into a stolen car took Highway 99

[00:00:43] And the walls came down all the way to hell

[00:00:52] Never saw them when they're standing

[00:00:54] Never saw them when they fell

[00:01:00] The undercover cop never liked the Monkey Man

[00:01:03] Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can

[00:01:08] Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bill

[00:01:12] She made secret calls to the Monkey Man

[00:01:14] From a mansion on the hill

[00:01:16] It was out on thunder road

[00:01:18] Tweeter at the wheel

[00:01:20] They crashed into paradise

[00:01:23] They could hear them tires squeal

[00:01:25] The undercover cop pulled up

[00:01:27] And said "Everyone of you's a liar

[00:01:29] If you don't surrender

[00:01:30] Now it's gonna go down to the wire"

[00:01:33] And the walls came down all the way to hell

[00:01:42] Never saw them when they're standing

[00:01:44] Never saw them when they fell

[00:01:55] An ambulance rolled up a state trooper close behind

[00:02:00] Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind

[00:02:04] The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree

[00:02:08] Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory

[00:02:13] Next day the undercover cop was-a hot in pursuit

[00:02:17] He was taking the whole thing personal

[00:02:18] He didn't care about the loot

[00:02:21] Jan had told him many times it was you to me who taught

[00:02:25] In Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught

[00:02:30] And the walls came down all the way to hell

[00:02:38] Never saw them when they're standing

[00:02:40] Never saw them when they fell

[00:02:51] Someplace by Rahway prison they ran out of gas

[00:02:56] The undercover cop had cornered them

[00:02:58] Said "Boy you didn't think that this could last"

[00:03:00] Jan jumped out of bed

[00:03:02] Said "There's someplace I gotta go"

[00:03:04] She took a gun out of the drawer

[00:03:07] And said "It's best if you don't know"

[00:03:09] The undercover cop was found face down in a field

[00:03:13] The monkey man was on the river bridge

[00:03:15] Using Tweeter as a shield

[00:03:18] Jan said to the Monkey Man

[00:03:20] "I'm not fooled by Tweeter's curl

[00:03:22] I knew him long before he ever became a Jersey girl"

[00:03:26] And the walls came down all the way to hell

[00:03:35] Never saw them when they're standing

[00:03:37] Never saw them when they fell

[00:03:48] Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again

[00:03:52] I'm sitting in a gambling club called the Lion's Den

[00:03:56] The TV set was blown up every bit of it is gone

[00:04:01] Ever since the nightly news

[00:04:03] Show that the Monkey Man was on

[00:04:05] I guess I'll go to Florida and get myself some sun

[00:04:10] There ain't no more opportunity here

[00:04:12] Everything's been done

[00:04:14] Sometime I think of Tweeter sometimes I think of Jan

[00:04:18] Sometimes I don't think about nothing

[00:04:21] But the Monkey Man

[00:04:23] And the walls came down all the way to hell

[00:04:31] Never saw them when they're standing

[00:04:33] Never saw them when they fell

[00:04:36] And the walls came down all the way to hell

[00:04:44] Never saw them when they're standing

[00:04:46] Never saw them when they fell
