Shock The Monkey — Peter Gabriel

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
