Iron & Wine - Monkeys Uptown Lyrics
I knew you well, I know you bestA baby mouth and I the breastA lazy bone, an eagle eyeCircling a city that's higher than the skyAnd it's looking like you better do what they sayThose monkeys uptown, I told you not to ***** aroundHeaven's the name and the river is brownWith all the mud and the rain, it never settles downIt never settles downYour baby left you unimpressedBut no one likes a beggar slightly overdressedTrouble comes in funky clothesYou can always find a razor lying in the roadAnd it's looking like you better do what they sayThose monkeys uptown, I told you not to ***** aroundHeaven's the name and the river is brownWith all the mud and the rain, it never settles downIt never settles downI knew you well, I know you bestEverybody owes something to everybody elseGabriel gave me some news to give to youMaybe taken for granted, you've nothing better to doAnd it's looking like you better do what they sayThose monkeys uptown, I told you not to ***** aroundHeaven's the name and the river is brownWith all the mud and the rain, it never settles downIt never settles down
