Tweeter And The Monkey Man (Remastered 2007) - The Traveling Wilburys
Written by:The Traveling Wilburys/Jeff Lynne/George Harrison
Tweeter and the monkey man were hardup for cash
They stayed up all night selling c**e 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
And found out the hard way nobody gives a d**n
They knew that they found freedom just across the Jersey line
So they hopped into a stolen car took Highway 99
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
The undercover cop never liked the monkey man
Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bill
She made secret calls to the monkey man
From a mansion on the hill
It was out on Thunder Road
Tweeter at the wheel
They crashed into paradise they could hear them tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up and said
Everyone of you is a liar
If you don't surrender now it's gonna go down to the wire
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
An ambulance rolled up a State Trooper close behind
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind
The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree
Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory
Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit
He was taking the whole thing
Personal he didn't care about the loot
Jan had told him many times
It was you to me who taught
In Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
Some place by
Rahwey Prison they ran out of gas
The undercover cop had cornered them said
Boy you didn't think this could last
Jan jumped out of bed said there's someplace I gotta go
She took the gun out of the drawer said
It's best that you don't know
The undercover cop was found face down in a field
The monkey man was on the river bridge using
Tweeter as a shield
Jan said to the monkey man
I'm not fooled by Tweeter's curl
I knew him long before he ever became a Jersey girl
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again
I'm sitting in a gambling club called the Lion's Den
The TV set was blown up every bit of it was gone
Ever since the nightly news showed that the monkey man was on
I guess I'll go to Florida to get myself some sun
There ain't no more opportunity here everything's been done
Sometimes I think of Tweeter sometimes I think of Jan
Sometimes I don't think about nothing but the monkey man
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
