In this circus top where the world's a stage I've come to do my spot when the freakshow plays I get electric shocks from rattling my cage I don't know when to stop can't tear myself away And just like railway tracks were built for landing aeroplanes You are my everything I knew i was born for something I'm just a monkey on a string I'm just a monkey on a string And you're my everything I'm just a monkey on a string Hanging myself up on someone like you Is just a gift i've got like i was born to do I get electric shocks... I'm just a monkey on a string
