Martin Page - Monkey in My DreamsLyrics

There's a monkey in my dreams Clinging like a thief Forcing my eyes open Wrestling in my sheets I'm living on my own now Without you on my back But still you keep on calling No disappearing act You used to be so good at that You used to be so good at games Now you go 'round and around Exiting the way you came Just a monkey in my dreams That's what you are A loose valve of escaping steam That's what you are A motor running in an empty car That's what you are And I won't stoop to the obscene You're a monkey Just a monkey You're a monkey in my dreams Gonna shake that monkey right outta my bed Gonna shake that monkey right outta my head I'm losing eight good hours With this hollow ghost of you Screeching in my sleep tank Sleeping in my shoes You used to be so good at that You used to be so good at games Now you go 'round and around Exiting the way you came Just a monkey in my dreams That's what you are A loose valve of escaping steam That's what you are A motor running in an empty car That's what you are And I won't stoop to the obscene You're a monkey Just a monkey You're a monkey in my dreams Gonna shake that monkey right outta my bed Gonna shake that monkey right outta my head Time to shake the monkey outta my bed Time to shake the monkey outta my head I can't reason on the phone I won't talk to your machine No doctor would prescribe you No doctor is that mean You used to be so good at that You used to be so good at games Now you go 'round and around Exiting the way you came Just a monkey in my dreams That's what you are A loose valve of escaping steam That's what you are A motor running in an empty car That's what you are And I won't stoop to the obscene You're a monkey Just a monkey You're a monkey in my dreams Gonna shake that monkey right outta my bed Gonna shake that monkey right outta my head
