Gov`t Mule Monkey Hill Lyrics

Monkey Hill Lyrics

last night and the night before
the thunder crowed and the rooster
roared
i woke up sweating on somebody's floor
you know how the story
goes

the dirty streets, they can be so mean
everybody trying to live
so clean
me, i'm stuck here in between
and it's a fine line

down
on monkey hill
saw a brother screaming on the corner
talkin' 'bout some
low down dirty shame
and he said
" gonna get so high that i just don't
know my name "

between the buildings and the alleyways
that's where
the living is done
where the young boys chase the dragon
that's where
flesh and steel are one

down on monkey hill
saw another brother
testifying this morning
talkin' 'bout how he lost everything
and he
said
" gonna get so high that i just don't know my name "

everybody's
talking shit and jivin'
hard to tell which is which
dealers and
healers
businessmen and bankers
they all be scratchin' that
itch

down on monkey hill
saw another brother testifying this
evening
talkin' 'bout how he left his soul in DeNang
and he said
"
gonna get so high that i just don't know my name "
gonna get so high
i
don't know my name
down on monkey hill
