Traveling Wilburys - Tweeter And The Monkey Man слова песни
Verse 1:Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cashThey stayed up all night selling cocaine and hashTo an undercover cop who had a sister named JanFor reasons unexplained she loved the Monkey ManTweeter was a boy scout before she went to VietnamAnd found out the hard way nobody gives a damnThey knew that they found freedom just across the Jersey LineSo they hopped into a stolen car took Highway 99Chorus:And the walls came down all the way to hellNever saw them when they`re standingNever saw them when they fellVerse 2:The undercover cop never liked the Monkey ManEven back in childhood he wanted to see him in the canJan got married at fourteen to a rackateer named BillShe made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hillIt was out on thunder road - Tweeter at the wheelThey crashed into paradise - they could hear them tires squealThe undercover cop pulled up and said "Everyone of you`s a liarIf you don`t surrender now it`s gonna go down to the wire(To chorus:)Verse 3:An ambulance rolled up - a state trooper close behindTweeter took his gun away and messed up his mindThe undercover cop was left tied up to a treeNear the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factoryNext day the undercover cop was hot in pursuitHe was taking the whole thing personalHe didn`t care about the lootJan had told him many times it was you to me who taughtIn Jersey anything`s legal as long as you don`t get caught(To chorus:)Verse 4:Someplace by Rahway prison they ran out of gasThe undercover cop had cornered them said "Boy, you didn`t think that this could last"Jan jumped out of bed said "There`s someplace I gotta go"She took a gun out of the drawer and said "It`s best if you dont` know"The undercover cop was found face down in a fieldThe monkey man was on the river bridge using Tweeter as a shieldJan said to the Monkey Man "I`m not fooled by Tweeter`s curlI knew him long before he ever became a Jersey girl"(To chorus:)Verse 5:Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down againI`m sitting in a gambling club called the Lion`s DenThe TV set been blown up, every bit of it is goneEver since the nightly news show that the Monkey Man was onI guess I`ll to to Florida and get myself some sunThere ain`t no more opportunity here, everything`s been doneSometime I think of Tweeter, sometime I think of JanSometime I don`t think about nothing but the Monkey Man(To chorus:)
