Monkeys Uptown Lyrics

I knew you well, I know you best A baby mouth, denied the breast A lazy bone, an eagle eye Circling a city that's higher than the sky
And it's looking like you better do what they say Those monkeys uptown, they told you not to fuck around Heavens the name and river is brown With all the mud and the rain It never settles down
It never settles down
Your baby left you unimpressed But no one likes a beggar, slightly overdressed And trouble comes in funky clothes You can always find a razor lying on the road.
And it's looking like you better do what they say [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/monkeys-uptown-lyrics-iron-wine.html ] Those monkeys uptown, they told you not to fuck around Heavens the name and river is brown With all the mud and the rain It never settles down
It never settles down
I knew you well, I know you best Everybody owes something to everybody else Gabrielle gave me some news to give to you: "Never take him for granted, you've nothing better to do"
And it's looking like you better do what they say Those monkeys uptown, they told you not to fuck around Heavens the name and river is brown With all the mud and the rain It never settles down.
It never settles down.
