Take that monkey down
Take that monkey down
Take that monkey down
Pain writes verses on your face
An ice rock loose in time and space
Those pills got a hold on you
Pray silence a fool is coming through
Wound up ready to explode
You've taken the devils road
Those girls got a hold on you
Pray silence a fool is coming through
You're everything you said you were
And every party passes like a blur
I don't know why, I don't know why
It takes a bottle just to wake you up
And then Tequila in your coffee cup
I don't know why, I don't know why
You rise like a thing possessed
An oil digger beating in your chest
Those nights got a hold on you
Pray silence a fool is coming through
You're everything you said you were
And every party passes like a blur
I don't know why, I don't know why
It takes a bottle just to wake you up
And then Tequila in your coffee cup
I don't know why, I don't know why
You need to take that monkey down from your back
The tension's building higher than a pancake stack
You need to take that monkey down from your back
The tension's building higher than a pancake stack
You're everything you said you were
And every party passes like a blur
I don't know why, I don't know why
It takes a bottle just to wake you up
And then Tequila in your coffee cup
I don't know why, I don't know why
You're everything you said you were
And every party passes like a blur
I don't know why, I don't know why
It takes a bottle just to wake you up
And then Tequila in your coffee cup
I don't know why, I don't know why
Take that monkey down
Take that monkey down
Take that monkey down
Take that monkey down
Take that monkey down
Take that monkey down
Take that monkey down
Take that monkey down
Take that monkey down
