Monkey Shock

MONKEY SHOCK - Written by Carroll Bryant 

You can’t trump what you don’t try

You can run forever from everything you deny

You don’t want what you can’t buy

You can fall to pieces with excuses and alibi’s

When your pretty world starts spinning

You always seem to lose control

You’re such a pretty girl who’s swimming

In the shallow end of your empty pool

There’s no speech

I can’t talk

Standing there scratching my head from the monkey shock

I can’t run

I can’t walk

Standing there beseeching

Stranded in the monkey shock

You can’t play with what you don’t hide

You can burn with fever from everything you have inside

You don’t touch what you can’t cry

You can feel emotions but you’re always acting so surprised

When your pretty head starts aching

You always seem to head for the hills

You’re such a Betty that you keep faking

In the deepest end of your cheapest thrills

There’s no speech

I can’t talk

Standing there scratching my head from the monkey shock

I can’t run

I can’t walk

Standing there beseeching

Stranded in the monkey shock

You can’t cook what you don’t fry

You can reach forever for anything to catch your eye

You don’t love what you can’t mind

You can fall to pieces when nothing gets sanitized

When your pretty world starts spinning

You always seem to lose control

You’re such a pretty girl who’s swimming

In the shallow end of your empty pool

There’s no speech

I can’t talk

Standing there scratching my head from the monkey shock

I can’t run

I can’t walk

Standing there beseeching

Stranded in the monkey shock

Standing there begging for your love from the monkey shock
