Tweet-

er

and

the

mon-

key

man

were

Db

hard

up

for

cash.__

They

Cb

stayed

up

all

night

sell-

ing

Ebm

co-

caine

and

hash__

to an

Ebm

un-

der-

cov-

cop

who

had

a

Db

sis-

named

Jan.__

For

Cb

rea-

sons

un-

ex-

plained

she

loved__

Ebm

the

mon-

key

man.

Ebm

Tweet-

er

was

a

boy

scout be-

fore

she

Db

went

to

Vi-

et

nam

and

Cb

found

out

the

hard

way__

no-

Ebm

body

gives

a

damn,_

They

Ebm

knew

that

they

found

free-

dom

just

a-

Db

cross

the

Jer-

sey

line,

so

they

Cb

hopped

in-

to

a

sto-

len

car,

took

Ebm

high-

way

nine-

ty-

nine.

And

the

Ebm

under-

cover

cop

Db

never

liked

the

monkey

man.

Cb

Even

back

in

childhood

he

wanted

to

Ebm

see

him

in

the

can.

Ebm

Jan

got

married

at

four-

teen

Db

to

a

racketeer

named

Bill.

Cb

She

made

secret

calls

to

the

Money

Man

Ebm

from

a

mansion

on

the

hill.

Ebm

It

was

out

on

Thunder

Road,

Db

Tweeter

at

the

wheel.

They

Cb

crashed

into

paradise,

they

Ebm

could

hear

them

tires

squeal.

The

Ebm

under-

cover

cop

pulled

up

and

said,

Db

"Every

one

of

you's

a

liar.,

Cb

if you

don't

sur-

rend-er

now

it's

Ebm

gonna

go

down

to

the

wire."

Ebm

Am-

bu-

lance

rode

up,

a

Db

state

trooper

close

behind.

Cb

Tweeter

took

his

gun

away,

and

Ebm

messed

up

his

mind.

An

Ebm

under-

cover

cop

was

left,

Db

tied

up

to

a

tree.

Cb

Near

the

sou-

ven-ir

stand

by

the

old

Ebm

a-ban-

doned

fac-

to-ry.

Ebm

Next

day

the

under-

cover

cop

was

in

Db

hot

pursuit.

He

was

Cb

taking

the

whole

thing

personal,

he

Ebm

didn't

care

about

the

loot.

Ebm

Jan

had

told

him

many

times

it

was

Db

you

to

me

who

taught

In

Cb

Jersey

any-

things

legal

Ebm

as long

as

you

don't

get

caught.

Ebm

place

by

Rah-

way

prison

they

Db

ran

out

of

gas.

The

Cb

under-

cover

cop

had

cornered

them

said,

Ebm

"Boy,

you

didn't

think

this

could

last."

Ebm

Jan

jumped

up

out

of

bed,

Db

said

"There's

someplace

I

gotta

go."

Cb

She

took a

gun

out

of the

draw

Ebm

and

said,

"It's

best

that

you

don't

know."

Ebm

The

under-

cover

cop

was

found

Db

face

down

in

a

field.

Cb

The

monkey

man

was

on

the

river

bridge

Ebm

using

Tweeter

as

a

shield.

Ebm

Jan

said

to

the

monkey

man,

Db

"I'm

not

fooled

by

Tweeter's

curl.

Cb

I

knew

him

long

before

he

ever

became

Ebm

a

Jersey

girl."

Ebm

town

of

Jers-

ey

city

is

Db

quieting

down

again.

Cb

I'm

sitting

in

a

gambling

club

Ebm

called

the

Lion's

Den.

Ebm

The

TV

set

was

blown

up,

Db

every

bit

of

it

was

gone.

Cb

Ever

since

the

nightly

news

show

Ebm

that

the

monkey

man

was

on.

Ebm

I

guess

I'll

go

to

Florida

Db

and

get

myself

some

sun.

Cb

There

ain't

no

more

opportunity

here.

Ebm

Every-

thing

is

done.

Ebm

Some-

time

I

think

of

Tweeter,

Db

some-

time

I

thnk

of Jan.

Cb

Some-

time

I

don't

think

about

nothing

but

Ebm

the

monkey

man.
