The Bridge Monkey

I didn't know that I could fail
So many times
Can't strip this monkey off my back
It's still alive
Every connection made since then
Close to void
Her presence exists in this old place
Won't go away
why won't you leave my mind
beneath the bridge she hides
little monkey, little monkey, little monkey
From what I remember it was cold
She didn't mind
The smell of her hair the simple kind
Yet, stained my mind
The moment repeats itself with them
Just not the same
Her melodies set the bar so high
Her eastern ways
why won't you leave my mind
beneath the bridge she hides
little monkey, little monkey, little monkey
she left her shoes under the bridge
for them to fill
They dance around to entertain
They always smash the pair
A short lived thrill
why won't you leave my mind
beneath the bridge she hides
little monkey, little monkey, little monkey
