lyrics

Monkey. 6/99

I'm a long way now from Oakleigh
But I smile when I pass through
This life it may provoke me
Still searching for a clue

It's looking like I like you
I don't control it anymore
I hope my monkey doesn't bite you
As we wrestle to the floor

Yahoo - It's on my back now
Yahoo - My monkey may attack now

You take my feelings lightly
So I'm taking it too hard
I got the right equipment
And a Karma credit card

Yahoo - It's all I got now
Yahoo - This is my last shot now

So how do we know?
If the real thing comes around
It just seems so
Thin upon the ground

So I struggle with my baggage
And the pieces of my heart
I'm limping on my ankle
From a lifetime of false starts

Yahoo - It's on my back now
Yahoo - My monkey may attack now
