Straight Monkey Blues Stuck in an alley with a bottle of wine Lady Godiva and a piece of your mind Stuck in an alley with a bottle of gin Just praying that love would never find me again Covering up with an old plastic bag Wiping my nose with a wet kitchen rag It's raining harder and it's starting to freeze Something slimy starts to crawl up my knees Kind of funky straight monkey blues Straight monkey Straight monkey Trapped in a bar with a half finished beer Marie Antoinette and a scar on my ear Dreaming of something that makes me feel good She was doing all the things that you said that she could Watching the clock as it spins on the wall And asking for somebody to make some sense of it all It's hard enough to get lost in a song Without wishing that you'd know the words all along Kind of funky straight monkey blues Straight monkey Straight monkey blues Straight monkey blues Straight monkey Born in a mine field where dreams just explode Somebody dialing and somebody owed Born in the middle of yesterdays smile I held on forever but it sure took awhile Burning my name on the motionless wall Asking if somebody had someone to call Turning my hands inside out and aloof Just trying to meet you up there on the roof It's kinda funky these straight monkey blues Straight monkey Straight monkey Stuck in an alley with a close friend of mine Lady Godiva and a bottle of wine Stuck in an alley with a bottle of gin Sweating out blood and a feeling within Hoping that love wouldn't find me alone Half baked half shaken taken down to the bone Wearing the edge of a cold drunken smile Waiting for absence to go up on trial You know it's kind of funky these straight monkey blues Straight monkey Get it? Stuck in an alley with a bottle of wine Lady Godiva and a piece of your mind Stuck in an alley with a bottle of gin Just praying that love would never find me again Covering up with an old plastic bag Wiping my nose with a wet kitchen rag It's raining harder and it's starting to freeze Something slimy starts to crawl up my knees Kind of funky these straight monkey blues Down in my shoes Down in my straight monkey blues
