ETweeter and the monkey man wereD hard up for cash
AThey Stayed up all night sellingE cocaine and hash.
ETo an undercover sop who had a Dsister named Jan.
AFor Reasons unexplained she lEoved the monkey man
ETweeter was a boy scout coz he Dwent to vietnam
AFound out the hard way nobEody gives a damn
EThey knew that they found freedom just acrossD the jersey line
ASo they hopped into a stolen car tEook highway 99
EAnd the walls came downE aDll the way to hellD
ANever saw them when they're standinAg
ENever saw them when they fellE

same chords as before
The undercover cop never liked the monkey man
Even back in highShcool wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at fourteen to a rackateer named bill
She made secret plans to the monkey man from a mansion on the hill
EIt was out on Thunder Road, DTweeter at the wheel
APulled into paradise, you could heEar the tires squeal
EIt was Jan who'd told him many times "It was yoDu to me who'd taught:
DIn Kingston everything's legal as long as you donA't get caught"
EAnd the walls came downE
DAll the way to hellD
ANever saw them when they standinA
ENever saw them when they fEell

ESome place by Riway prison theyD ran out of gas
AThe undercover cop cornered 'em, said "You didn't tEhink that this could last"
EJan jumped up out of bed said "There's someD place I gotta go"
AShe took the gun out of the drawer, and said "E;It's best that you don't know"
EAn ambulance rolled up, StDate Trooper close behind
ATweeter took his gun away andD messed up his mind
EThe undercover cop was found faDce down in a field
AThe Monkey Man was on the bridge usingE Tweeter as a shield
EAnd the walls came dowEn
AAll the way to hellA
DNever saw them when they standinD
ENever saw them when they felEl

same chords
The town of Jersey City is quieting down again
I'm sitting in a gambling club called The Lion's Den
The TV set is blown up, every bit of it is gone
Ever since the night when they showed that the Monkey Man was on
Maybe I'll go to Florida, get myself some sun
There ain't no more opportunity here and everythings been done
Sometimes I think of Tweeter, sometimes I think of Jan
Sometimes I don't think about nothin' but the Monkey Man
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they standin
Never saw them when they fell
