Monkey

You've been traveling forever eyes open wide
All of life in front of you never had to hide
Why have cake if you don't eat it
Why fake it if you need it
You can't run and walk the line
When that monkey's in the wine

He fell in it and he's felling fine
Guess I gotta tell you
Ring the bell and tell you
The monkey's in the wine

The check's in your back pocket your ceiling's in the sky
Eyes peeled like an onion
But onions make you cry
The sidewalk is spinning like the wings of a fly
Laughing and a grinning out of sight and out of time

He fell in it and he's felling fine
Guess I gotta tell you
Ring the bell and tell you
The monkey's in the wine

The chip on your shoulder is cutting to the bone
The heels you are walking on are caught in cobblestone
It's raining a river and the sun's in the sky
The clothes are on the line
And the monkey's in the wine

He fell in it and he's felling fine
Guess I gotta tell you
Ring the bell and tell you
The monkey's in the wine
