Tweeter and the monkey man were hard up for cash

They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash
3
To an undercover cop who had a sister named jan
4
For reasons unexplained she loved the monkey man
5
Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to vietnam
6
And found out the hard way nobody gives a damn
7
They knew that they found freedom just across the jersey line
8
So they hopped into a stolen car took highway 99
9
And the walls came down all the way to hell
10
Never saw them when theyre standing
11
Never saw them when they fell

The undercover cop never liked the monkey man
13
Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can
14
Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named bill
15
She made secret calls to the monkey man from a mansion on the hill
16
It was out on thunder road - tweeter at the wheel
17
They crashed into paradise - they could hear them tires squeal
18
The undercover cop pulled up and said everyone of yous a liar
19
If you dont surrender now its gonna go down to the wire
20
And the walls came down all the way to hell
21
Never saw them when theyre standing
22
Never saw them when they fell
23
An ambulance rolled up - a state trooper close behind
24
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind
25
The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree
26
Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory
27
Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit
28
He was taking the whole thing personal
29
He didnt care about the loot
30
Jan had told him many times it was you to me who taught
31
In jersey anythings legal as long as you dont get caught
32
And the walls came down all the way to hell
33
Never saw them when theyre standing
34
Never saw them when they fell
35
Someplace by rahway prison they ran out of gas
36
The undercover cop had cornered them said boy, you didnt think that this could last
37
Jan jumped out of bed said theres someplace I gotta go
38
She took a gun out of the drawer and said its best if you dont know
39
The undercover cop was found face down in a field
40
The monkey man was on the river bridge using tweeter as a shield
41
Jan said to the monkey man Im not fooled by tweeters curl
42
I knew him long before he ever became a jersey girl
43
And the walls came down all the way to hell
44
Never saw them when theyre standing
45
Never saw them when they fell
46
Now the town of jersey city is quieting down again
47
Im sitting in a gambling club called the lions den
48
The tv set been blown up, every bit of it is gone
49
Ever since the nightly news show that the monkey man was on
50
I guess Ill go to florida and get myself some sun
51
There aint no more opportunity here, everythings been done
52
Sometime I think of tweeter, sometime I think of jan
53
Sometime I dont think about nothing but the monkey man
54
And the walls came down all the way to hell
55
Never saw them when theyre standing
56
Never saw them when they fell
