Monkey

She wants to go where the tide is low
 And she wants to skip rocks
 And play shadow games all day long
 She wants to see the monkey do the tricks
 And she sings, sings with the natives
 Put your hands on the monkey
 Take your hands off the money
 Put your hands on the monkey
 Run as fast as you can
 'Cause we can? t make promises
 In the state that we? re in, that we? re in
 Sometimes she sits with the lights off
 And she closes like a flower in frigid weather
 Well, she? s run out of dimes
 But she? s bound for a lucky streak
 She? s run out of dimes
 But she? s bound for a lucky streak
 Put your hands on the monkey
 Take your hands off the money
 Put your hands on the monkey
 Run as fast as you can
 'Cause we can? t make promises
 In the state that we? re in, state that we? re in
 She wants to giggle like the girls in the schoolyard
 She wants to turn into a Japanese tattoo
 She wants to stop the imaginary movie cameras in her head
 'Cause they follow her wherever she goes
 In the state, in the state
 In the state that we? re in
 Put your hands on the monkey
 Take your hands off the money
 Put your hands on the monkey
 Run as fast as you can
 'Cause we can? t make promises
 Put your hands on the monkey
 Take your hands off the money
 Put your hands on the monkey
 Run as fast as you can
 'Cause we can? t make promises
 In the state that we? re in
