lyrics:
tweeter and the monkeyman were hard up for cash/ they stayed up all night
selling cocaine and hash/ to and undercover cop who had a sister named
jan/ for reasons unexplained, she loved the monkeyman/ tweeter was a
boyscout/'course he went to vietnam/ found out the hard way nobody gives a
***/ they knew that they found that freedom just across the jersey line/
hopped into a stolen car and took highway 99.
when the walls came down/ all the way to hell/ never saw them when they
standin'/ never saw them when they fell.
the undercover cop/ never liked the monkeyman/ even back in highschool/
wanted to see him in the can/ jan got married at fourteen to a rackateer
named bill/ made secret plans with the monkeyman from a mansion on a hill/
it was out on thunder road/ tweeter at the wheel/ pulled into paradise/
you could hear the tires squeel/ 'cause jan told me many times it was you
to me who taught/ in kingston everything's legal man/ as long as you don't
get caught.
when the walls came down/ all the way to hell/ never saw them when they
standin'/ never saw them when they fell.
someplace by rahway prison/ they ran outta gas/ the undercover cop had
cornered them/ said ya didn't think that this could last/ jan jumped up
outta bed/ said there's someplace i gotta go/ she took a gun out of the
drawer/ said it's best that you don't know/ an ambulance rode up/ state
trooper close behind/ tweeter pulled his gun away and messed up his mind/
the undercover cop was found face down in a field/ the monkeyman was on
the river bridge usin' tweeter as a shield.
when the walls came down/ all the way to hell/ never saw them when they
standin'/ never saw them when they fell.
the town of jersey city/ it's quieted down again/ i'm sittin' in a
gamblin' club called the lions den/ the t.v. set is blown up/ every bit of
it is gone/ every since the show when the monkeyman was on/ maybe i'll go
to florida/ get myself some sun/ there ain't no more activity here and
everything's been done/ sometimes i think of tweeter/ sometimes i think of
jan/ sometimes i don't about nothin' but the monkeyman.
when the walls came down/ all the way to hell/ never saw them when they
stand/ never saw them when they fell.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official HEADSTONES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
