Tweeter And The Monkey Man - King of the Road[00:00:00]

Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash[00:00:09]

They stayed up all night selling coc*ine and hash[00:00:13]

To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan[00:00:18]

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[00:00:35]

Just across the Jersey Line[00:00:37]

So they hopped into a stolen car took Highway 99[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[00:01:00]

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[00:01:08]

She made secret calls to the Monkey Man[00:01:12]

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[00:01:20]

They could hear them tires squeal[00:01:23]

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

And said "Everyone of you's a liar[00:01:27]

If you don't surrender[00:01:29]

Now it's gonna go down to the wire"[00:01:30]

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

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-a hot in pursuit[00:02:13]

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

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[00:02:30]

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[00:02:56]

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

Jan jumped out of bed[00:03:00]

Said "There's someplace I gotta go"[00:03:02]

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

And said "It's best if 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[00:03:13]

Using Tweeter as a shield[00:03:15]

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 all the way to hell[00:03:26]

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 is gone[00:03:56]

Ever since the nightly news[00:04:01]

Show that the Monkey Man was on[00:04:03]

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

There ain't no more opportunity here [00:04:10]

Everything's been done[00:04:12]

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

Sometimes I don't think about nothing[00:04:18]

But the Monkey Man[00:04:21]

And the walls came down all the way to hell[00:04:23]

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[00:04:36]

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

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