Lyrics
There was me and my monkey
Wearing black shades and a chain
Cigarette burning low
Feet on my dash, eyes full of blame
He said, You ever danced with regret?
I said, Not yet, he said, Let's place that bet.
Top down, heading west
Fueling madness in a midnight vest
He said, Lost my cash in the last goodbye
Grabbed my wallet like it was his alibi
Hotel lobby gleaming pale
Asked the desk if we could trail
Me and the monkey, just one suite
He said, If he's paying, he can sleep on gold sheets
Me and my monkey
With a plan and a lie
Just praying this night
Won't end in goodbye
Me and my monkey
Like stories left unread
Still trying to learn
What he meant when he said
So, me
Me and my monkey
Me
Me and my monkey, wired and wild
One's lost in rhythm, the other's just a child
Running through the dark, neon sins collide
Can't shake the truth no matter how we hide
Penthouse floor, skyline lean
He passed out in the sink, dreaming obscene
Woke up dialing pleasure lines
Ordered temptations dressed in lies
Knock at the door, bass still low
In walks danger with a private show
I'm Velvet. These are my sins. Pay to play
Let the damage begin.
TV humming Kurt in grey
While the monkey danced decay
I sat silent, clutching steel
Wondering what of this was real
We hit the strip, he had a dream
Said he needed noise to drown the scream
But halfway through, he disappeared
Even the lights looked tired and smeared
At the tables, chaos spun
He lost to shadows, chased by none
A stranger stared, or maybe me
Not every cage has locks you see
Me and my monkey,
Me and my monkey, dusk on rewind
Every mirror cracks with time
Ten fingers twitching, story unclear
When the monkey's high, don't get near
Name's Navarro, he said real slow
Your monkey's got to go
And I, I just stood, gun in hand
Wondering how the hell I'd missed the plan
I whispered: How'd I end up with this fucking monkey anyway?
