Monkeys Uptown

I knew you well, I know you best A baby mouth, denied the breast A lazy bone, an eagle eye Circling the city higher than the sky And it's looking like you better do what they say Those monkeys uptown, they told you not to fuck around Heaven's a name and the river is brown With all the mud and the rain It never settles down It never settles down Your baby left you unimpressed But no one likes a beggar slightly overdressed And trouble comes in funky clothes You can always find a razor lying in the road And it's looking like you better do what they say Those monkeys uptown, they told you not to fuck around Heaven's a name and the river is brown With all the mud and the rain It never settles down It never settles down I knew you well, I know you best Everybody owes something to everybody else Gabriel gave me some news to give to you Never take him for granted, you've nothing better to do And it's looking like you better do what they say Those monkeys uptown, they told you not to fuck around Heaven's a name and the river is brown With all the mud and the rain It never settles down It never settles down
