Tweeter and the
Monkey Man were hardup for cash
They stayed up all night selling ******* and hash
To an undercover cop who had a sister named
JanFor reasons unexplained she loved the
Monkey Man
Tweeter was a boy scout course he went to
VietnamAnd found out the hard way, nobody gives a damn
They knew that they found freedom just across the
Jersey line
So they hopped into a stolen car, took
Highway 99
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
The undercover cop never liked the
Monkey Man
Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named
BillShe made secret calls to the
Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill
It was out on
Thunder Road,
Tweeter at the wheel
They crashed into paradise, they could hear them tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up and said "Everyone of you is a liarIf you don't surrender now, it's gonna go down to the wire"
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
An ambulance rolled up, a
State-Trooper close behind
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind
The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree
Near the souvenir stand, by the old abandoned factory
Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit
He was taking the whole thing personal, he didn't care about the loot
Jan had told him many times, "It was you to me who taughtIn Jersey anything's legal, as long as you don't get caught"
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
Some place by
Rahwey Prison they ran out of gas
The undercover cop had cornered them, said"Boy, you didn't think this could last?"
Jan jumped out of bed, said, "There's someplace I gotta go"
She took the gun out of the drawer, said, "It's best that you don't know"
The undercover cop was found face down in a field
The Monkey
Man was on the river bridge using
Tweeter as a shield
Jan said to the
Monkey Man, "I'm not fooled by Tweeter's curlI knew him long before he ever became a Jersey Girl"
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
Now the town of
Jersey City is quieting down again
I'm sitting in a gambling club called the
Lion's Den
The TV set was blown up, every bit of it was gone
Ever since the nightly news showed that the
Monkey Man was on
I guess I'll go to
Florida to get myself some sun
There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done
Sometimes
I think of
Tweeter, sometimes
I think of
JanSometimes
I don't think about nothing but the
Monkey Man
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
