Shock The Monkey - Joseph Arthur

Shock the monkey to live

Shock the monkey to live

Cover me when I run

Cover me through the fire

Something knocked me out' the trees

Now I’m on my knees

Cover me, darling please

Monkey, monkey, monkey

Don’t you know when you’re going to shock the monkey

Fox the fox

Rat the rat

You can ape the ape

I know about that

There is one thing you must be sure of I can’t take any more

Darling, don’t you monkey with the monkey

Monkey, monkey, monkey

Don’t you know you’re going to shock the monkey

Wheels keep turning

Something’s burning

Don’t like it but I guess I’m learning

Shock!

— watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

Cover me, when I sleep

Cover me, when I breathe

You throw your pearls before the swine

Make the monkey blind

Cover me, darling please

Monkey, monkey, monkey

Don’t you know you’re going to shock the monkey

Too much at stake

Ground beneath me shake

And the news is breaking

Shock!

— watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

Shock the monkey

Shock the monkey

Shock the monkey to life
