Monkey Man — текст песни (Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews)

Great Monkey Man has gone the distance
The lucky one`s going to get it all
Loving life now
Living on top of
Lucky ones always get it all

Oh, I`m hungry
Don`t wanna die like a little dog
Gonna take what I can get
I`m the Monkey Man
With the great, great monkey plan

It`s crazy, crazy, little man
You`ve got yourself entangled

Oh, love to lie to myself
To say everything is fine now
We got to keep it up
Or fall behind
I got to keep it up
Or lose the edge we found there faster
I`ll build higher, still higher
I dig deeper down `til it`s down in the ground
It`s found, used up and then thrown out

Crazy, crazy little man
What do you think you`re doing here?


Big, beautiful world just for us
Good use we must put it to
Any way I can think to use it up
What will I tell my grandson`s grandsons?

I could weave a fairy tale
On a great Bible-thumping scale
When he stands empty hands
On his empty land
That`s what happened here
Great, great Monkey Man

Where did you think grey was the color of this?
You think I don`t know quite what to say
But I`m worried for myself in this

I`m hungry
Don`t wanna die like a little dog
Well, I eat what I can get
From the Monkey Man
Great, great monkey plan

Crazy, crazy man
You get yourself turned in a pickle


Crazy, crazy Monkey Man
Who is the one in the middle


Take a walk
Cross the ice
Melts too quickly
For us to reach the other side

It`s cold in here
But the sun shines bright, oh
It warms this up well
Oh, the tide is rising higher

Look, it`s strange
Floating by
Looks just like ones that
Flow out and ride, oh, I will

Golden age
These golden times
Our golden days seem to have us
Hypnotized or blind, well
