paroles de chanson Monkeys Uptown (Live) - Iron & Wine

(Woo)

I knew you well, I know you best
A baby mouth, denied the breast
A lazy bone, eagle eye
Circling a city, higher than the sky

It's looking like you better do what they say
Those monkeys uptown, they told you not to fuck around
Heavens the name and river is brown
With all the mud and the rain, it never settles down (ooh-ooh)
It never settles down (ooh-ooh)

Your baby left you unimpressed
No one likes a beggar, slightly overdressed
And trouble comes in funky clothes
You can always find a razor lying in the road

And it's looking like you better do what they say
Those monkeys uptown, they told you not to fuck around
Heaven's the name and river is brown
With all the mud and the rain, it never settles down (ooh-ooh)
It never settles down (ooh-ooh)
Settles down (ooh-ooh)
It never settles down, down, down (ooh-ooh)

I knew you well, I know you best
Everybody owes something to everybody else
Gabrielle gave me some news to give to you
"May be taken for granted, you've nothing better to do?"

And it's looking like you better do what they say
Those monkeys uptown, they told you not to fuck around
Heavens the name and river is brown
With all the mud and the rain, it never settles down (ooh-ooh)
It never settles down (ooh-ooh)

Never settles down, down, down, down, down (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Settle down, settle down please (ooh-ooh)
I'm not kidding, settle down (ooh-ooh)
Oh, I'm getting scared now, settle down (ooh-ooh)
Settle down please (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Settle down (ooh-ooh)
Oh, come on, I'm scared (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

Thank you
