Monkey In My Dreams Lyrics - Singles - Martin Page

There's a monkey in my dreams 

Clinging like a thief 

Forcing my eyes open 

Wrestling in my sheets 

I'm living on my own now 

Without you on my back 

But still you keep on calling 

And no disappearing act 

You used to be so good at that 

You used to be so good at games 

Now you go 'round and around 

Exiting the way you came 

Just a monkey in my dreams 

That's what you are 

A loose valve of escaping steam 

That's what you are 

A motor running in an empty car 

That's what you are 

And I won't stoop to the obscene 

You're a monkey, just a monkey 

You're a monkey in my dreams 

Gonna shake that monkey right outta my bed 

I'm gonna shake that monkey right outta my head 

I'm losing eight good hours 

With this hollow ghost of you 

Screeching in my sleep tank 

Sleeping in my shoes 

You used to be so good at that 

You used to be so good at games 

Now you go 'round and around 

Exiting the way you came 

Just a monkey in my dreams 

That's what you are 

A loose valve of escaping steam 

That's what you are 

A motor running in an empty car 

That's what you are 

And I won't stoop to the obscene 

You're a monkey, just a monkey 

You're a monkey in my dreams 

Gonna shake that monkey right outta my bed 

I'm gonna shake that monkey right outta my head 

Time to shake the monkey outta my bed 

Time to shake the monkey outta my head 

I can't reason on the phone 

I won't talk to your machine 

No doctor would prescribe you 

No doctor is that mean 

You used to be so good at that 

You used to be so good at games 

Now you go 'round and around 

Exiting the way you came 

Just a monkey in my dreams 

That's what you are 

A loose valve of escaping steam 

That's what you are 

A motor running in an empty car 

That's what you are 

And I won't stoop to the obscene 

'Cause you're a monkey, just a monkey 

You're a monkey in my dreams 

That's what you are 

A loose valve of escaping steam 

That's what you are 

A motor running in an empty car 

That's what you are 

And I won't stoop to the obscene 

You're a monkey, just a monkey 

A monkey in my dreams 

That's what you are 

A loose valve of escaping steam 

That's what you are 

A motor running in an empty car 

That's what you are 

And I won't stoop to the obscene 

You're a monkey, just a monkey 

You're a monkey in my dreams 

Gonna shake that monkey right outta my bed 

I'm gonna shake that monkey right outta my head 

Time to shake the monkey outta my bed 

Time to shake the monkey outta my head 

Monkey in my dreams 

Monkey! Get off my back 

Yeah there's a monkey in my dreams 

Get off my back 

Monkey in my dreams 

Monkey get off my back 

Monkey in my dreams
