If this is what is meant for me then... I don't see no more for me
The monkey on my back still clinging on
The future and the distant past are intertwined life moves so fast
I'll shake that monkey crashing to the floor
And hope and pray that he wont cling no more
Cos its not a game of win or lose its just a time for me to choose
The writing on the wall just says it all
Cos in my life ive seen such things the black dog that is closing in
An hunt me down and trip me till I fall
I step into another Way a brave new world for me to stay
Curtains wide the lights come pouring through
I dance into a whole new day the monkeys gone on holiday
Don't need no postcards or some memories
of when I was adrift out on the seas
Cos its not a game of win or lose its just a time for me to choose
The writing on the wall just says it all
Cos in my life ive seen these things that's when I know
I'll never win the first cut slices deep into your soul
Well its not a game of win or lose its just a time for me to choose
The writing on the wall just says it all
Cos in my life ive seen these things
Thats when I knew I never could win
First cut slices deep into your soul
I step into another way a brave new world for me to stay
Curtains wide the light comes pouring through
I dance into a whole new day the monkeys gone on holiday
Don't need no postcards or some memories
Of how I was adrift out on the seas
