"Monkey Suit" lyrics
"Monkey Suit"
(with Leon Russell)
If you're looking for the glory
You think that you might find
In a bullet-riddled stolen car
On a back road in the pines
If it's round just like a medal
On a tired old man of war
Or hidden like that Burma Star
In my dad's bottom drawer
Look at you in your monkey suit
Driving south, nothing left to prove
You come back here in your cowboy boots
Dressed to kill in your monkey suit
Every pose you strike, every frame they shoot
Shows you dressed to kill in your monkey suit
Build your ladder to the moon
Beat on that sacred drum
Trample on the hands of those
That cling to every rung
Every seed you crush beneath
Like stone ground in a mill
You never drew a decent breath
But you're just dressed to kill
Look at you in your monkey suit
Driving south, nothing left to prove
You come back here in your cowboy boots
Dressed to kill in your monkey suit
Every pose you strike, every frame they shoot
Shows you dressed to kill in your monkey suit
Look at you in your monkey suit
Driving south, nothing left to prove
You come back here in your cowboy boots
Dressed to kill in your monkey suit
Every pose you strike, every frame they shoot
Shows you dressed to kill in your monkey suit

Stevie Nicks - "Edge Of Seventeen" Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo-whoo-whoo

Paul Simon - "Loves Me Like A Rock" When I was a little boy (When I was just a boy)
And the Devil would call my name
I'd say, "Now, who do
Who do you think you're fooling?"
I'm a consecrated boy
Singer in a Sunday choir
Oh, my mama...
Fleetwood Mac - "The Chain" Listen to the wind blow
Watch the sun rise
Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break...
