[00:00:00] Tweeter And The Monkey Man - Traveling Wilburys

[00:00:01] Written by：Roy Orbison/Jeff Lynn/Bob Dylan/Tom Petty/George Harrison

[00:00:09] Tweeter and the monkey man were hard up for cash

[00:00:13] They stayed up all night selling coc*ine and hash

[00:00:18] To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan

[00:00:22] For reasons unexplained she loved the monkey man

[00:00:26] Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to Vietnam

[00:00:31] And found out the hard way nobody gives a damn

[00:00:35] They knew that they found freedom just across the jersey line

[00:00:39] So they hopped into a stolen car took highway nintynine

[00:00:43] And the walls came down all the way to hell

[00:00:52] Never saw them when they're standing

[00:00:54] Never saw them when they fell

[00:00:59] The undercover cop never liked the monkey man

[00:01:03] Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can

[00:01:07] Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bill

[00:01:12] She made secret calls to the monkey man from a mansion on the hill

[00:01:16] It was out on thunder road tweeter at the wheel

[00:01:20] They crashed into paradise they could hear them tires squeal

[00:01:25] The undercover cop pulled up and said everyone of you's a liar

[00:01:29] If you don't surrender now it's gonna go down to the wire

[00:01:33] And the walls came down all the way to hell

[00:01:42] Never saw them when they're standing

[00:01:44] Never saw them when they fell

[00:01:55] An ambulance rolled up a state trooper close behind

[00:02:00] Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind

[00:02:04] The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree

[00:02:08] Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory

[00:02:13] Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit

[00:02:17] He was taking the whole thing personal

[00:02:18] He didn't care about the loot

[00:02:21] Jan had told him many times it was you to me who taught

[00:02:25] In jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught

[00:02:30] And the walls came down all the way to hell

[00:02:38] Never saw them when they're standing

[00:02:40] Never saw them when they fell

[00:02:51] Someplace by Rahway prison they ran out of gas

[00:02:56] The undercover cop had cornered them said boy you didn't

[00:02:59] Think that this could last

[00:03:01] Jan jumped out of bed said there's someplace I gotta go

[00:03:05] She took a gun out of the drawer and said it's best if you don't know

[00:03:09] The undercover cop was found face down in a field

[00:03:13] The monkey man was on the river bridge using tweeter as a shield

[00:03:18] Jan said to the monkey man I'm not fooled by tweeter's curl

[00:03:22] I knew him long before he ever became a jersey girl

[00:03:26] And the walls came down all the way to hell

[00:03:35] Never saw them when they're standing

[00:03:37] Never saw them when they fell

[00:03:48] Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again

[00:03:52] I'm sitting in a gambling club called the lion's den

[00:03:57] The TV set been blown up every bit of it is gone

[00:04:01] Ever since the nightly news show that the monkey man was on

[00:04:06] I guess I'll to to Florida and get myself some sun

[00:04:10] There ain't no more opportunity here everything's been done

[00:04:14] Sometime I think of tweeter sometime I think of Jan

[00:04:18] Sometime I don't think about nothing but the monkey man

[00:04:23] And the walls came down all the way to hell

[00:04:31] Never saw them when they're standing

[00:04:33] Never saw them when they fell

[00:04:36] And the walls came down all the way to hell

[00:04:44] Never saw them when they're standing

[00:04:46] Never saw them when they fell
