Peter Gabriel - So (Special Edition)

Shock The Monkey - Live

This is a song about jealousy
It's called 'Shock the Monkey'

Cover me, when I run
Cover me, through the fire

Something knocked me out the trees
Now I'm on my knees
Darling
Don't you monkey with the monkey

Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're gonna
Shock the monkey

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 anymore
Darling
Don't you monkey with the monkey

Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're gonna
Shock the monkey

(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
Darling
Don't you monkey with the monkey

Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're gonna
Shock the monkey

(Monkey) too much at stake
(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

Shock the monkey to life (shock the monkey to life)
Shock the monkey to life, hey-hey (shock the monkey to life)
Shock the monkey to life (shock the monkey to life)
Shock the monkey to life, hey-hey (shock the monkey to life)
Hey-hey-hey

Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life

Ευχαριστώ
"You're the God, man!"
How much am I paying you?
