about

"Like a flowing trip hop version of Sheryl Crow's "All I Wanna Do," Monkey kicks a mean blues beat with halo electronic effects, while Scott demands that you "Put your hands on the monkey." Rickie Lee Jones got nothing on this!" ~ Yahoo! Music Blogs : Better Living Through MP3s

lyrics

Lyrics:

She wants to go where the tide is low
She wants to skip rocks
And play shadow games all day long
She wants to see the monkey do the tricks
And she sings, sings with natives

Put your hands on the monkey
Take your hands off the money
Put your hands on the monkey
Run as fast as you can
Cause we can’t make promises
In the state that we’re in
That we’re in

Sometimes she sits with the lights off
And she closes like a flower
In frigid weather
Well, she’s run out of dimes
But she’s bound for a lucky streak
She’s run out of dimes
But she’s bound for a lucky streak

Put your hands on the monkey
Take your hands off the money
Put your hands on the monkey
Run as fast as you can
Cause we can’t make promises
In the state that we’re in
The state that we’re in

She wants to giggle
Like the girls in the schoolyard
She wants to turn into a Japanese tattoo
She wants to stop the imaginary
Movie cameras in her head
Cause they follow her
Wherever she goes

In the state
In the state
In the state that we’re in

Put your hands on the monkey
Take your hands off the money
Put your hands on the monkey
Run as fast as you can
Cause we can’t make promises

Put your hands on the monkey
Take your hands off the money
Put your hands on the monkey
Cause we can’t make promises
In the state that we’re in
