lyrics

Monkey boy's busy
He's making a scratch
He's eking a living
Off a junkie's back

It's a dangerous occupation
Because he doesn't believe
There's anything wrong
With a junkie's needs

So it's off to Mexico
Gonna see what they know
This sorry spectacle
Is way too slow

There's going to be a hot time
In the old town tonite
When the monkey boy monkey boy
Meets the corn god

Tonite

There's a reason
The good die young
And some mothers
Eat their kids

Cemeteries filled
With good conversation
It's only marriage
That kills

So it's off to Mexico, etc.

A cloud of dust
A pale sunrise
A blue Ford
In front of a church

Angry voices
Come from inside
Someone's got
No business in here

Yeah, I can take a hint
Man, it's way too tight
Hand 'em over here
Let's get it right

You can't be slow, lord
Don't you know
When the monkey boy monkey boy
Meets the corn god

Tonite
