Peter Gabriel – Shock the Monkey – 1982

    Paroles

    Shock the monkey to live
    Shock the monkey to live

    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
