Amor - Tweeter And The Monkey Man Lyrics

[Verse 1: Bob Dylan]
Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash
They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash
To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan
For reasons unexplained, she loved the Monkey Man
Tweeter was a boy scout 'fore she went to Vietnam
And found out the hard way nobody gives a damn
They knew that they'd find freedom just across the Jersey Line
So they hopped into a stolen car, took Highway 99

[Chorus: The Traveling Wilburys]
And the walls came down, all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing, never saw them when they fell

[Verse 2: Bob Dylan]
The undercover cop never liked the Monkey Man
Even back in childhood, he wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bill
She made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill
It was out on Thunder Road, Tweeter at the wheel
They crashed into paradise, they could hear them tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up and said "Everyone of you's a liar
If you don't surrender now, it's gonna go down to the wire"

[Chorus: The Traveling Wilburys]
And the walls came down, all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing, never saw them when they fell
[Verse 3: Bob Dylan]
An ambulance rolled up, a state trooper close behind
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind
The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree
Near the souvenir standby the old abandoned factory
Next day, the undercover cop was hot in pursuit
He was taking the whole thing personal, he didn't care about the loot
Jan had told him many times "It was you to me who taught
In Jersey, anything's legal as long as you don't get caught"

[Chorus]
And the walls came down, all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing, never saw them when they fell

[Verse 4: Bob Dylan]
Someplace by Rahway Prison, they ran out of gas
The undercover cop had cornered 'em, said, "Boy, you didn't think that this could last"
Jan jumped up out of bed, said, "There's someplace I gotta go"
She took a gun out of the drawer and said, "It's best if you don't know"
The undercover cop was found face-down in a field
The Monkey Man was on the river bridge using Tweeter as a shield
Jan said to the Monkey Man, "I'm not fooled by Tweeter's curl
I knew him long before he ever becamea Jersey girl"

[Chorus: The Traveling Wilburys]
And the walls came down, all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing, never saw them when they fell
[Verse 5: Bob Dylan]
Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again
I'm sitting in a gambling club called A Lion's Den
The TV set was blown up, every bit of it is gone
Ever since the nightly news show that the Monkey Man was on
I guess I'll go to Florida and get myself some sun
There ain't no more opportunity here, everything been done
Sometimes I think of Tweeter, sometimes I think of Jan
Sometimes I don't think about nothing but the Monkey Man

[Chorus: The Traveling Wilburys]
And the walls came down, all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing, never saw them when they fell

[Chorus: The Traveling Wilburys]
And the walls came down, all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing, never saw them when they fell
