Monkey Hill lyrics

Artist  : Gov`t Mule 
Song : Monkey Hill
 


last night and the night before
the thunder
crowed and the rooster roared
i woke up
sweating on somebody's floor
you know how the
story goes

the dirty streets, they can be
so mean
everybody trying to live so
clean
me, i'm stuck here in between
and
it's a fine line

down on monkey
hill
saw a brother screaming on the
corner
talkin' 'bout some low down dirty
shame
and he said
" gonna get so high that
i just don't know my name "

between the
buildings and the alleyways
that's where the
living is done
where the young boys chase the
dragon
that's where flesh and steel are
one

down on monkey hill
saw another
brother testifying this morning
talkin' 'bout
how he lost everything
and he said
" gonna
get so high that i just don't know my name
"

everybody's talking shit and
jivin'
hard to tell which is which
dealers
and healers
businessmen and bankers
they
all be scratchin' that itch

down on monkey
hill
saw another brother testifying this
evening
talkin' 'bout how he left his soul in
DeNang
and he said
" gonna get so high that
i just don't know my name "
gonna get so
high
i don't know my name
down on monkey
hill
