Monkey

love is an organ grinder's monkey

on a three day bender behind the wheel of a truck

he's driving down the road with no shirt on and he's

flipping you the finger

he's got a bottle full of bloody guts and a shotgun full

of stardust

and love will shoot you down

love's no pretty thing, no starry eyes

love won't hold your hand or tuck you in for the night

love will swallow you whole and pick his teeth with your

bones

and when he's done he'll spit you out and leave you to

clean the mess that he's made of your heart

and love will shoot you down

and in the dark and in the light and when the moment's

feeling right

you'll see the sounds and hear the sights and you'll be

love's monkey in no time

he'll shoot you down

oh you stupid little monkey

love shot you down
