Tweeter And The Monkey Man
Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cas
They stayed up all night selling cocaine and has
To an undercover cop who had a sister named Ja
For reasons unexplained she loved the Monkey Ma
Tweeter was a boy scout 'fore she went to Vietna
And found out the hard way, nobody gives a dam
They knew that they found freedom just across the Jersey lin
So they hopped into a stolen car, took Highway 9
And the walls came dow
All the way to hel
Never saw them when they're standin
Never saw them when they fel
The undercover cop never liked the Monkey Ma
Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the ca
Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bil
She mad secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hil
It was out on Thunder Road, Tweeter at the whee
They crashed into paradise, they could hear them tires squea
The undercover cop pulled up and said "Everyone of you's a lia
If you don't surrender now it's gonna go down the wire"
And the walls came dow
All the way to hel
Never saw them when they're standin
Never saw them when they fel
An ambulance rolled up, a state-trooper close behin
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his min
The undercover cop was left tied up to a tre
Near the souvenir stand, by the old abandoned factor
Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursui
He was taking the whole thing personal, he did'nt care about the loo
Jan had told him many times "It was you to me who taugh
In Jersey anythings legal, as long as you don't get caught"
And the walls came dow
All the way to hel
Never saw them when they're standin
Never saw them when they fel
Some place by Rahwey Prison they ran out of ga
The undercover cop had cornered the, sai
"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 fiel
The Monkey Man was on the river bridge, using Tweeter as a shiel
Jan said to the Monkey Man "I'm not fooled by Tweeter's cur
I knew him long before he became a Jersey Girl"
And the walls came dow
All the way to hel
Never saw them when they're standin
Never saw them when they fel
Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down agai
I'm sitting in a gambling club called the Lion's De
The TV set was blown up, every bit of it is gon
Ever since the nightly news showed that the Monkey Man was o

There aint no more opportunity here, everything's been don
Sometimes I think of Tweeter, sometimes I think of Ja
Sometimes I don't think about nothing but the Monkey Ma
And the walls came dow
All the way to hel
Never saw them when they're standin
Never saw them when they fell
