shock the monkey (live) [athens 1987] - peter gabriel lyrics
[intro: peter gabriel]
“this is a song about jealousy, it’s called ‘shock the monkey’.”
[verse 1: peter gabriel]
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
[chorus: peter gabriel]
monkey, monkey, monkey
don’t you know you’re going to shock the monkey?
[verse 2: peter gabriel]
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 any more
darling, don’t you monkey with the monkey
[chorus: peter gabriel]
monkey, monkey, monkey
don’t you know you’re going to shock the monkey?
[post-chorus 1: peter gabriel]
monkey
wheels keep turning
a 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
[interlude]
[verse 3: peter gabriel]
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
[chorus: peter gabriel]
monkey, monkey, monkey
don’t you know you’re going to shock the monkey?
[post-chorus 2: peter gabriel]
monkey
too much at stake
a 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
[bridge: peter gabriel]
shock the monkey
shock the monkey
shock the monkey
[interlude]
[outro: peter gabriel & audience]
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
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?”
