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

Written by：Roy Orbison/Jeff Lynn/Bob Dylan/Tom Petty/George Harrison[00:00:01]

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[00:00:31]

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 racketeer named Bill[00:01:07]

She made secret calls to the monkey man from a mansion on the hill[00:01:12]

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[00:01:42]

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[00:02:13]

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 said boy you didn't[00:02:56]

Think that this could last[00:02:59]

Jan jumped out of bed said there's someplace I gotta go[00:03:01]

She took a gun out of the drawer and said it's best if you don't know[00:03:05]

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

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[00:03:18]

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 been blown up every bit of it is gone[00:03:57]

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

I guess I'll to to Florida and get myself some sun[00:04:06]

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

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[00:04:23]

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]
