I knew you well, I know you best A baby mouth and I the breast A lazy bone, an eagle eye Circling a city that's higher than the sky And it's looking like you better do what they say Those monkeys uptown, I told you not to f*ck around Heaven's the name and the river is brown With all the mud and the rain, it never settles down It never settles down Your baby left you unimpressed But no one likes a beggar slightly overdressed Trouble comes in funky clothes You can always find a razor lying in the road And it's looking like you better do what they say Those monkeys uptown, I told you not to f*ck around Heaven's the name and the river is brown With all the mud and the rain, it never settles down It never settles down I knew you well, I know you best Everybody owes something to everybody else Gabriel gave me some news to give to you Maybe taken for granted, you've nothing better to do And it's looking like you better do what they say Those monkeys uptown, I told you not to f*ck around Heaven's the name and the river is brown With all the mud and the rain, it never settles down It never settles down
