Monkey on My Back (The Last Run)

歌詞

There's moonlight on the crystals Laid on the back of my hand Temptation lies in the ocean And I'm laid out in the sand There's blood on my rear view mirror And a siren in the street There's a fog out here in Malibu And a needle at my feet There's a mobile home in Carmel Stranded in a trailer park A teenage mother hides herself From the eyes of the loan shark She's beggin' me, "Honey, don't go It's not worth the pain You can't go on playin' This dangerous game" This monkey on my back Left me stranded in L.A. With a busted truck and a chewed up arm And a cravin' in my veins There's a chopper with a searchlight Whirlin' overhead The L.A.P.D.'s on the beach And this bust's been put to bed Buried deep the white fire heats The slug stuck in my side Runnin' bags for crooked cash Took me one too many miles It's gotta be over, poor boy Their sights were set on me Never figured sand turned red at night Don't want no sheet over me They chased me clear down from Monterey But I lost them on the freeway I ran a speedtrap and hell I almost got away So I took Ventura through the mountains And sunset to the sea They winged me out in the Palisades When I stopped off to get some change But I never got to use the phone They was like Apaches round a wagon train
