[Intro: Peter Gabriel] "This is a song about jealousy, it's called 'Shock the Monkey'." [Verse 1: Peter Gabriel] Cover me when I run Cover me through the fire Something knocked me out the trees, now I'm on my knees Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey [Chorus: Peter Gabriel] Monkey, monkey, monkey Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey? [Verse 2: Peter Gabriel] Fox the fox, rat on the rat You can ape the ape, I know about that There is one thing you must be sure of I can't take any more Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey [Chorus: Peter Gabriel] Monkey, monkey, monkey Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey? [Post-Chorus 1: Peter Gabriel] Monkey Wheels keep turning A monkey Something's burning Monkey Don't like it but I guess I'm learning Shock, shock, shock Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey Shock, shock, shock Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey [Interlude] [Verse 3: Peter Gabriel] Cover me when I sleep Cover me when I breathe You throw your pearls before the swine, make the monkey blind Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey [Chorus: Peter Gabriel] Monkey, monkey, monkey Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey? [Post-Chorus 2: Peter Gabriel] Monkey Too much at stake A monkey Ground beneath me shake Monkey And the news is breaking Shock, shock, shock Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey Shock, shock, shock Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey [Bridge: Peter Gabriel] Shock the monkey Shock the monkey Shock the monkey [Interlude] [Outro: Peter Gabriel & Audience] Shock the monkey to life Shock the monkey to life Shock the monkey to life, hey, hey Shock the monkey to life Shock the monkey to life Shock the monkey to life Shock the monkey to life, hey, hey Shock the monkey to life Hey Shock the monkey Shock the monkey Shock the monkey Shock the monkey to life "ευχαριστώ" "You're the God, man" "How much am I paying you?"
