Chuck Prophet - Monkey In The Middle lyrics

"Give us a break. We know you want to see him, But let's not give him the feeling, uh That all we are is curiosity seekers. If you could fall back a little bit, Give him a break, he's got a big job to do today." Well I was born a little apple seed No one seemed to notice me Stealing kisses in the dark From two sisters hard to tell apart I was the monkey in the middle But I never get caught From the pump and dump to the bait and switch I can do 'em all with the flick of a wrist Even as a pup down on the farm I never met a beast I couldn't charm I was the monkey in the middle And I never get caught Yeah, I was the monkey in the middle And I never get caught Well St. Petersburg's a funky town There's money to be made if you ask around Microfilm, discotheques, cash in hand And traveler's checks I was the monkey in the middle And I never got caught Yeah, I was the monkey in the middle And I never got caught Alright And I never got caught And I NEVER got caught Ahh... watch me now! Well, Cleopatra ruled the Nile with an iron fist Some folks they just couldn't handle it They hunted down my river queen Nobody laid a hand on me I was the monkey in the middle But I never got caught She owned the heart of Egypt land They say she died by her own hand But it was a harmless game of truth or dare She grabbed that snake and held it there I was the monkey in the middle And I never got caught Yeah, I was the monkey in the middle And I never got caught Alright And I never got caught And I NEVER got caught And... watch me now! Well, I came into this world unknown I've seen so many good people come and go But I got no gray hairs upon my head And I kept my cool to the bitter end I'm the monkey in the middle And I never get caught You let Jesus make your dying bed Tell him I've got other plans instead Take the Reaper off his rounds I can shut my own light out I'm the monkey in the middle And I NEVER get caught Yeah, I'm the monkey in the middle And I never get caught. Mr. Guitar Player! "I guess it just be that way sometimes... I guess it just be that way sometimes... Ooh I guess it just be that way sometimes..."
