Story Behind the Song
Every song recorded on this album was taped
live, one take. There are only over dubs on
the lyrics, you can't get more live than this.
The song Lookin' for the Monkey, will be self-
explanatory with the first lyric: "Hit like a
ton of bricks, Gotta get another fix." Don't
worry moms and dad were only talkin' soft drugs
here! The song is 3:05 minutes long. The Boy
is clearly audible in the background vocal track,
but the doubled up main track sure sounds spooky!
This, obviously, is the title track of the album
of the same name.
Lyrics
Hit ya like a ton of bricks,
Gotta get another fix,
Feels like I'm buried alive.
Hell, look alive but don't look at me.
Looks like a crack in the ice,
No way to make it to shore,
You better keep running, Honey,
But don't come running to me.
If that jive turkey...
Don't stop talkin'...
He's gonna be the straw that breaks my back!
You better turn the other cheek,
'Cause the shits gonna hit the fan,
I stare directly into the Sun,
And bury my head in the sand,
If you think ones enough,
Then you don't know how I feel,
If you want to know the mystery man,
You'd better sit down and shut up!
If that jive turkey...
Don't stop talkin'...
He's gonna be the straw that breaks my back!
I'm lookin' for the monkey,
Gotta get down and hide,
I'm lookin' for the monkey,
A Get Down... A Get Down...
