Lyrics
DID YOU HOLD THE COATS FOR THE ANGRY MOB,
AS THEY DID THEIR BEST TO CRUCIFY ME?
DID YOU TRY YOUR LUCK, CASTING LOTS,
IN ORDER JUST TO SET YOURSELF FREE,
FROM THE GUILT INCURRED BY AN ANGRY DEBT,
DID YOU CHOOSE TO JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES?
BUT THE PAST IS KEEPING IN HUNGRY STEP,
KEEP AN EYE ON THE DARKENING SKIES...
MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO, AND MONKEY LEARN,
WHAT A STUPID LITTLE MONKEY CAN DO...STUPID LITTLE MONKEY!!!
DON?T BREAK THE MONKEY?S BACK, HEED THE WARNIN?,
DON?T BREAK THE MONKEY?S BACK!
(REPEAT THREE MORE TIMES)
DID THE COAT I WEAR, AND THE DREAMS I HAD,
BOTHER YOU A LITTLE TOO MUCH?
WERE THERE TOO MANY COLOURS FROM THE FRONT TO MY BACK,
THAT CAUSED YOU JUST TO LOOSE YOUR TOUCH.
DID YOU STRIKE A MATCH, TO LIGHT THE FIRE,
AS THEY FASTENED ME TO THE STAKE?
?JUST ANOTHER WITCHES TIT ON A HERETIC?
YOU CRIED AS YOU LAUGHED IN MY FACE... (CHORUS & SOLO)
DID YOU BANG ON THE DOORS AS THE RAIN CAME DOWN,
DID YOU TRY TO HITCH YOURSELF A FREE RIDE?
DID YOU CLING BY TAIL TO THE HIGHEST TREE,
JUST TO CATCH A QUICK GLIMPSE INSIDE?
SO YOU PRAISED THE LORD, AND CALLED HIS NAME,
BUT HE DIDN?T SEEM TO RECOGNIZE YOU.
AND YOU CURSE OUT LOUD, AND PLACE THE BLAME,
?CAUSE MONKEY ONLY SEE AND DO...
