Lyrics

[Verse 1] So very hot up in your room A man can feel the danger And you tell me, "it'll be soon" So I control my anger Thought you said there's no danger here That's when I can see your fear [Chorus] The monkey (There's a monkey on my back) On my back (There's a monkey on my back) Is bleeding (There's a monkey on my back) The monkey on my back is bleeding The monkey on my back is bleeding [Verse 2] I'll try to tell you how I feel It's got me counting the hours It's not so unreal If you've got the special powers Won't ever see the morning light Don't tell me it ain't right [Chorus] The monkey (There's a monkey on my back) On my back (There's a monkey on my back) Is bleeding (There's a monkey on my back) The monkey on my back is bleeding The monkey on my back is bleeding [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] The monkey (There's a monkey on my back) On my back (There's a monkey on my back) Is bleeding (There's a monkey on my back) The monkey on my back is bleeding The monkey on my back is bleeding
