Lyrics

Monkey

Oh my my

Little white lie

I swear I'm gonna make it right this time

It's like a radio

Turning way down low

Telling me things I do not know I know

Tonight you will be mine

Tonight the monkey dies

Tonight you will be mine

Tonight the monkey dies

Now who's to blame

We used to be the same

Now you won't let me speak your name, what a shame

It's a suicide

Shut up and drive

We're never gonna make the light but it's alright

'Cause tonight you will be mine

Tonight the monkey dies

Tonight you will be mine

Tonight the monkey dies

Tonight you will be mine

Tonight the monkey dies

Tonight you will be mine, oh

Tonight the monkey dies

Oh, tonight you will be mine

Tonight the monkey dies
