Shock the Monkey Songtext
von Peter Gabriel

Cover me, when I run
Cover me, through the fire
Something knocked me out the trees
Now I′m on my knees
Cover me, darling please

Hey-ey-ey
Monkey, monkey, monkey

Don't you know you′re going to shock the monkey?
Hey, hey

Fox the fox
Rat on the rat
You can ape the ape
I know about that

There is one thing you must be sure of
I can't take any more
Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey!

Hey-ey-ey
Monkey, monkey, monkey


Don′t you know you′re going to shock the monkey?
Hey, hey
Shock the monkey

Hey-ey-ey-ey
Monkey
Wheels keep turning
Monkey
Something's burning
Monkey
Don′t like it but I guess I'm learning

Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt
Monkey
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt
Monkey


Cover me, when I sleep
Cover me, when I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please

Hey-ey-ey
Monkey, monkey, monkey

Don′t you know you're going to shock the monkey?
Hey, hey
Shock the monkey

Hey-ey-ey
Monkey
Too much at stake
Oh monkey
Ground beneath me shake
Monkey
And the news is breaking

Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

Shock the monkey!
Shock the monkey!
Shock the monkey!
Hey, hey
Shock the monkey!
