courtney marie andrews - monkey on a chain كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
motorbike on the island
steering like an angry h-rnet
i don’t belong in this ritzy palace
show me your shanty
show me your corrupted churches

[pre-chorus]
there’s a pearl in the mud
there’s a penniless child next to a mansion in the sun
there’s a monkey on a chain
while his puppeteer pulls his strings for change

[chorus a]
i’m a honey-haired lonely traveler
you’re a rice-picking lonely sailor
and despite the language barrier
i appreciate the gesture

[verse 2]
the museum is filling up with flies
a rosary from the man with ebony eyes
the barefoot children stick out their hands for coins
the barefoot street men advertise their tricks and their noise

[pre-chorus]
there’s a pearl in the mud
there’s a penniless child next to a mansion in the sun
there’s a monkey on a chain
while his puppeteer pulls his strings for change

[chorus b]
i’m an empty bar storyteller
you’ve just made enough for dinner
and despite the language barrier
i appreciate the gesture

- courtney marie andrews
