Peter Gabriel-Shock The Monkey lyrics

Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey to life

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 you`re gonna shock the monkey

Fox the fox
Rat on 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 gonna 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 gonna 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
