Drunker Side of Midnight (The Monkey Song)

On the drunker side of midnight

Stumbling around blind by bloodshot eyes

Chasing them clowns all around this town

And falling further behind

Remind me that I'm here

The bigger the crowd, the more I disappear

Into that place I can't ever escape

My hopes and doubts and fears

Maybe I, maybe I, maybe I've got a monkey on my back

Maybe I, maybe I just need some help shaking his grasp

Maybe I don't understand how the hell it got so bad

But I'm gonna figure it out

I've gotta figure it out

I'm on my way down to figure it out

And I'm running from the void

Got to escape before I am destroyed

But the harder I try the harder I fall

It makes no sense at all

On the drunker side of midnight

I'm just a fool who can't get it right

My love is strong but the words come out so wrong every goddamn time

Maybe I, maybe I, maybe I've got a monkey on my back

Maybe I, maybe I just need some help shaking his grasp

Maybe I don't understand how the hell it got so bad

But I'm gonna figure it out

I've gotta figure it out

I'm on my way down to figure it out
