Tweeter & the Monkeyman

5 Netflix envelopes in the mailbox on a Monday morning is most certainly a sign of an exciting weekend
Im trying to figure out what I watched
I dont know if I could accurately tell you without cheating
Counting the Devils Rejects on Friday, I watched at least 6 movies
What they were though Im still not really sure

I do know a few things about the weekend though:
I didnt shower

I ate no less than four tempeh, hummus, & cucumber sandwiches in the span of two days

After 29 years, my wisdom teeth decided to show up
Nice to see you
Thanks for keeping me up all night
Well done

Kickball was a bust yesterday
After standing around for two hours we still didnt have enough people to field a team
We only had enough people to field an outfield

Another week begins

Oh
Go buy tickets to The Honorary Title & Jeff Klein @ Tonic for the 10th
The shows going to be mint

I downloaded a bunch of John Fogerty and Traveling Willburys songs off of Limewire last night
I listened to them on the way in this morning
They remind me of driving to soccer games with my dad
So if you saw me on the subway this morning, that's why I had I was lip synching
I still remember all of the words

Tweeter and the monkey man were hard up for cash
They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash
To an undercover cop who had a sister named jan
For reasons unexplained she loved the monkey man

Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to vietnam
And found out the hard way nobody gives a damn
They knew that they found freedom just across the jersey line
So they hopped into a stolen car took highway 99

And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when theyre standing
Never saw them when they fell

The undercover cop never liked the monkey man
Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at fourteen to a rackateer named bill
She made secret calls to the monkey man from a mansion on the hill

It was out on thunder road - tweeter at the wheel
They crashed into paradise - they could hear them tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up and said everyone of yous a liar
If you dont surrender now its gonna go down to the wire

And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when theyre standing
Never saw them when they fell

An ambulance rolled up - a state trooper close behind
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind
The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree
Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory

Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit
He was taking the whole thing personal
He didnt care about the loot
Jan had told him many times it was you to me who taught
In jersey anythings legal as long as you dont get caught

And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when theyre standing
Never saw them when they fell

Someplace by rahway prison they ran out of gas
The undercover cop had cornered them said boy, you didnt
Think that this could last
Jan jumped out of bed said theres someplace I gotta go
She took a gun out of the drawer and said its best if you dont know

The undercover cop was found face down in a field
The monkey man was on the river bridge using tweeter as a shield
Jan said to the monkey man Im not fooled by tweeters curl
I knew him long before he ever became a jersey girl

And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when theyre standing
Never saw them when they fell

Now the town of jersey city is quieting down again
Im sitting in a gambling club called the lions den
The tv set been blown up, every bit of it is gone
Ever since the nightly news show that the monkey man was on

I guess Ill to to florida and get myself some sun
There aint no more opportunity here, everythings been done
Sometime I think of tweeter, sometime I think of jan
Sometime I dont think about nothing but the monkey man

And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when theyre standing
Never saw them when they fell




I just read those lyrics over again
So Good
Dyan, Petty, Harrison, Orbison, & Lynne
So Good
