Shock the Monkey Lyrics

Performed by Peter Gabriel

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
Hey, hey, hey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're gonna shock the monkey
Hey, hey

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
Hey, hey, hey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're gonna shock the monkey

Hey, hey
Shock the monkey
Hey, hey, hey, yeah

(Monkey)
Wheels keep turning
(Monkey--AHHHHHHHHH!)
Something's burning
(Monkey)
Don't like it but I guess I'm learning

Shock!
Shock!
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

Hey, hey, hey, yeah

(Monkey)
Too much at stake
(Monkey--AHHHHHHHHHHH!)
Ground beneath me shake
(Monkey)
And the news is breaking

Shock!
Shock!
Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey

Shock the monkey to life (repeat 6 times)

Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life
