Monkey on My Back Lyrics

Opposites attract said the monkey on my back to the parasite
That sails from drunk to sober
Glory days in my sentimental maze
Set the world alight and wake me when it's over
Take a chance every movement is a glance at a brighter life
It leaves you when you're older
Futures bought for a fraction of their cost
As we live and die in dreams until we rise
Opposites attract my condition is a fact
So predictable with god upon my shoulders
Same mistakes that I always seem to make leave me open wide
The parts nearly over
Face to face with the gift of my disgrace
As we slip and slide through time until we rise again
Before that sound can strip you down
We rise again
That hidden voice that has no choice screams
I never wanted to be your darling
Only ever wanted to see your garden
Could never fall in love with great pretender
Alive inside just like a hurricane
Call it love and devotion but is only a notion
Just describe what it means to see
Call it love and devotion but is only a notion
Opposites attract said the monkey on my back to the parasite
That sails from drunk to sober
Glory days in my sentimental maze
Set the world alight and wake me when it's over
Take a chance every movement is a glance at a brighter life
It leaves you when you're older
Futures bought for a fraction of their cost
As we live and die in dreams until we rise

Opposites attract said the monkey on my back to the parasite
That sails from drunk to sober
Glory days in my sentimental maze
Set the world alight and wake me when it's over
Take a chance every movement is a glance at a brighter life
It leaves you when you're older
Futures bought for a fraction of their cost
As we live and die in dreams until we rise
Opposites attract my condition is a fact
So predictable with god upon my shoulders
Same mistakes that I always seem to make leave me open wide
The parts nearly over
Face to face with the gift of my disgrace
As we slip and slide through time until we rise again
Before that sound can strip you down
We rise again
That hidden voice that has no choice screams
I never wanted to be your darling
Only ever wanted to see your garden
Could never fall in love with great pretender
Alive inside just like a hurricane
Call it love and devotion but is only a notion
Just describe what it means to see
Call it love and devotion but is only a notion
Opposites attract said the monkey on my back to the parasite
That sails from drunk to sober
Glory days in my sentimental maze
Set the world alight and wake me when it's over
Take a chance every movement is a glance at a brighter life
It leaves you when you're older
Futures bought for a fraction of their cost
As we live and die in dreams until we rise
