Tweeter And The Monkey Man - Traveling Wilburys[00:00:00]

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

They stayed up all night selling cocaine 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 before she went to vietnam [00:00:26]

And found out the hard way nobody gives a damn [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 nintynine [00:00:39]

And the walls came down all the way to hell [00:00:43]

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 [00:00:59]

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

Jan got married at fourteen to a rackateer named bill [00:01:07]

She made secret calls to the monkey man from a mansion on the hill [00:01:11]

It was out on thunder road tweeter at the wheel [00:01:16]

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

The undercover cop pulled up and said everyone of you's a liar [00:01:25]

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

And the walls came down all the way to hell [00:01:33]

Never saw them when they're standing [00:01:41]

Never saw them when they fell [00:01:43]

An ambulance rolled up a state trooper close behind [00:01:55]

Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind [00:01:59]

The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree [00:02:03]

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 personal [00:02:16]

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

Jan had told him many times it was you to me who taught [00:02:21]

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

And the walls came down all the way to hell [00:02:29]

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

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

Someplace by rahway prison they ran out of gas [00:02:51]

The undercover cop had cornered them said boy you didn't [00:02:55]

Think that this could last [00:02:58]

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

She took a gun out of the drawer and said it's best if you don'tknow [00:03:04]

The undercover cop was found face down in a field [00:03:08]

The monkey man was on the river bridge using tweeter as a shield [00:03:13]

Jan said to the monkey man I'm not fooled by tweeter's curl [00:03:17]

I knew him long before he ever became a jersey girl [00:03:21]

And the walls came down all the way to hell [00:03:25]

Never saw them when they're standing [00:03:34]

Never saw them when they fell [00:03:36]

Now the town of jersey city is quieting down again [00:03:47]

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

The tv set been blown up every bit of it is gone [00:03:56]

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

I guess I'll to to florida and get myself some sun [00:04:05]

There ain't no more opportunity here everything's been done [00:04:09]

Sometime I think of tweeter sometime I think of jan [00:04:14]

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

And the walls came down all the way to hell [00:04:22]

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

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

And the walls came down all the way to hell [00:04:35]

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

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