lirik lagu chuck prophet - monkey in the middle
“give us a break.
we know you want to see him,
but let’s not give him the feeling, uh
that all we are is curiosity seekers.
if you could fall back a little bit,
give him a break, he’s got a big job to do today.”
well i was born a little apple seed.
no one seemed to notice me.
stealing kisses in the dark,
from two sisters hard to tell apart.
i was the monkey in the middle
but i never get caught.
from the pump & dump to the bait & switch,
i could do ’em all with the flip of a wrist.
even as a pup down on the farm,
i never met a beast i couldn’t charm.
i was the monkey in the middle
and i never get caught.
yeah, i was the monkey in the middle
and i never get caught.
well st. petersburg’s a funky town.
there’s money to be made if you ask around.
microfilm, discotheques,
cash in hand and traveler’s checks.
i was the monkey in the middle
and i never got caught.
yeah, i was the monkey in the middle
and i never got caught.
alright.
and i never got caught.
and i never got caught.
ahh… watch me now!
cleopatra ruled the nile with an iron fist.
some folks they just couldn’t handle it.
they hunted down my river queen,
n-body laid a hand on me.
i was the monkey in the middle
but i never got caught.
she owned the heart of egypt land.
they say she died by her own hand.
there was a harmless game of truth or dare,
she grabbed that snake and held it there.
i was the monkey in the middle
and i never got caught.
yeah, i was the monkey in the middle
and i never got caught.
alright.
and i never got caught.
and i never got caught.
ahh… watch me now!
well, i came into this world unknown.
i’ve seen so many good people come and go.
but i got no gray hairs upon my head,
and i kept my cool to the bitter end.
i am the monkey in the middle
and i never get caught.
you let jesus make your dyin’ bed,
tell him i’ve got other plans instead.
take the reaper off his rounds,
i can shut my own light out.
i’m the monkey in the middle
and i never get caught.
yeah, i’m the monkey in the middle
and i never get caught.
mr. guitar player!
“i guess it just be that way sometimes…
i guess it just be that way sometimes…
ooh i guess it just be that way sometimes…”
