Lyrics Tweeter and the Monkey Man

Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash

They stayed up all night sellin' cocaine and hash

To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan

For reasons unexplained she loved the Monkey Man

Tweeter was a Boy Scout 'course he went to Vietnam

Found out the hard way nobody gives a damn

Thought that they'd find freedom just across the Jersey line

Hopped into a stolen car

Took Highway Ninety-Nine

And the walls came down all the way to hell

Never saw them when they standin'

Never saw them when they fell

The undercover cop he never liked the Monkey Man

Even back in high school wanted to see him in the can

Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bill

Made secret plans with the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill

It was out on Thunder Road

Tweeter at the wheel

Pulled into paradise

You could hear the tires squeal

It was Jan who'd told him many times

It was you to me who'd taught

In Kingston everything's legal man as long as you don't get caught

And the walls came down all the way to hell

Never saw them when they standin'

Never saw them when they fell

A place by Rahway prison they ran out of gas

The undercover cop cornered 'em

Said You didn't think this would last

Jan jumped up out of bed

Said There's some place

I gotta go

She took the gun out of the drawer

Said It's best that you don't know

An ambulance rolled up

State Trooper close behind

Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind

The undercover cop was found face down in a field

The Monkey Man was on the river bridge usin' Tweeter as a shield

And the walls came down all the way to hell

Never saw them when they standin'

Never saw them when they fell

The town of Jersey City is quietin' down again

I'm sittin' in a gamblin' club called The Lion's Den

The TV set is blown up

Every bit of it is gone

Ever since the night when they showed that the Monkey Man was on

Maybe I'll go to Florida

Get myself some sun

There ain't no more opportunity here and everything's been done

Sometimes I think of Tweeter

Sometimes I think of Jan

Sometimes I don't think about nothin' but the Monkey Man

And the walls came down all the way to hell

Never saw them when they standin'

Never saw them when they fell
