Shock the monkey lyrics

Artist  : Peter gabriel 
Song : Shock the monkey
 
Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey to life
 
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
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know when you're going to shock the
monkey
 
Fox the fox
Rat 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
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey
 
Wheels keep turning
Something's burning
Don't like it but I guess I'm learning
 
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
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey
 
Too much at stake
Ground beneath me shake
And the news is breaking
 
Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
 
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life
