《Tweeter And The Monkey Man》歌词

[00:00:00] Tweeter And The Monkey Man - Traveling Wilburys

[00:00:09] Tweeter and the monkey man were hard up for cash

[00:00:13] They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash

[00:00:17] 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 just across the jersey line

[00:00:39] So they hopped into a stolen car took highway nintynine

[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

[00:00:59] The undercover cop never liked the monkey man

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

[00:01:07] Jan got married at fourteen to a rackateer named bill

[00:01:11] She made secret calls to the monkey man from a mansion on the hill

[00:01:16] It was out on thunder road tweeter at the wheel

[00:01:20] They crashed into paradise they could hear them tires squeal

[00:01:25] The undercover cop pulled up and said everyone of you's a liar

[00:01:29] If you don't surrender now it's gonna go down to the wire

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

[00:01:41] Never saw them when they're standing

[00:01:43] Never saw them when they fell

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

[00:01:59] Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind

[00:02:03] The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree

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

[00:02:12] Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit

[00:02:16] 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

[00:02:29] 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

[00:02:55] The undercover cop had cornered them said boy you didn't

[00:02:58] Think that this could last

[00:03:00] Jan jumped out of bed said there's someplace I gotta go

[00:03:04] She took a gun out of the drawer and said it's best if you don'tknow

[00:03:08] The undercover cop was found face down in a field

[00:03:13] The monkey man was on the river bridge using tweeter as a shield

[00:03:17] Jan said to the monkey man I'm not fooled by tweeter's curl

[00:03:21] I knew him long before he ever became a jersey girl

[00:03:25] And the walls came down all the way to hell

[00:03:34] Never saw them when they're standing

[00:03:36] Never saw them when they fell

[00:03:47] 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 been blown up every bit of it is gone

[00:04:00] Ever since the nightly news show that the monkey man was on

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

[00:04:09] There ain't no more opportunity here everything's been done

[00:04:14] Sometime I think of tweeter sometime I think of jan

[00:04:18] Sometime I don't think about nothing but the monkey man

[00:04:22] 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

[00:04:35] 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
