Tweeter And The Monkey Man (Remastered 2007) - Traveling Wilburys[00:00:00]

Written by：The Traveling Wilburys/Jeff Lynne/George Harrison[00:00:03]

Tweeter and the monkey man were hardup for cash[00:00:09]

They stayed up all night selling c*****e and hash[00:00:13]

To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan[00:00:17]

For reasons unexplained she loved the monkey man[00:00:22]

Tweeter was a boy scout course he went to Vietnam[00:00:26]

And found out the hard way nobody gives a d**n[00:00:30]

They knew that they found freedom just across the Jersey line[00:00:35]

So they hopped into a stolen car took Highway 99[00:00:39]

And the walls came down[00:00:43]

All the way to hell[00:00:48]

Never saw them when they're standing[00:00:52]

Never saw them when they fell[00:00:54]

The undercover cop never liked the monkey man[00:00:58]

Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can[00:01:03]

Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bill[00:01:07]

She made secret calls to the monkey man[00:01:11]

From a mansion on the hill[00:01:14]

It was out on Thunder Road[00:01:16]

Tweeter at the wheel[00:01:18]

They crashed into paradise they could hear them tires squeal[00:01:20]

The undercover cop pulled up and said[00:01:25]

Everyone of you is a liar[00:01:27]

If you don't surrender now it's gonna go down to the wire[00:01:29]

And the walls came down[00:01:33]

All the way to hell[00:01:38]

Never saw them when they're standing[00:01:42]

Never saw them when they fell[00:01:44]

An ambulance rolled up a State Trooper close behind[00:01:55]

Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind[00:02:00]

The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree[00:02:04]

Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory[00:02:08]

Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit[00:02:12]

He was taking the whole thing[00:02:17]

Personal he didn't care about the loot[00:02:18]

Jan had told him many times[00:02:21]

It was you to me who taught[00:02:23]

In Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught[00:02:25]

And the walls came down[00:02:29]

All the way to hell[00:02:35]

Never saw them when they're standing[00:02:38]

Never saw them when they fell[00:02:40]

Some place by[00:02:51]

Rahwey Prison they ran out of gas[00:02:52]

The undercover cop had cornered them said[00:02:55]

Boy you didn't think this could last[00:02:58]

Jan jumped out of bed said there's someplace I gotta go[00:03:00]

She took the gun out of the drawer said[00:03:04]

It's best that you don't know[00:03:07]

The undercover cop was found face down in a field[00:03:09]

The monkey man was on the river bridge using[00:03:13]

Tweeter as a shield[00:03:16]

Jan said to the monkey man[00:03:18]

I'm not fooled by Tweeter's curl[00:03:20]

I knew him long before he ever became a Jersey girl[00:03:22]

And the walls came down[00:03:26]

All the way to hell[00:03:31]

Never saw them when they're standing[00:03:35]

Never saw them when they fell[00:03:37]

Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again[00:03:48]

I'm sitting in a gambling club called the Lion's Den[00:03:52]

The TV set was blown up every bit of it was gone[00:03:56]

Ever since the nightly news showed that the monkey man was on[00:04:01]

I guess I'll go to Florida to get myself some sun[00:04:05]

There ain't no more opportunity here everything's been done[00:04:10]

Sometimes I think of Tweeter sometimes I think of Jan[00:04:14]

Sometimes I don't think about nothing but the monkey man[00:04:18]

And the walls came down[00:04:22]

All the way to hell[00:04:27]

Never saw them when they're standing[00:04:31]

Never saw them when they fell[00:04:33]

And the walls came down[00:04:35]

All the way to hell[00:04:40]

Never saw them when they're standing[00:04:44]

Never saw them when they fell[00:04:46]
