*Same chords as before, single guitar and drum beat only
The undercover cop never liked the monkey man
Even back in High School wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bill
She made secret plans to the monkey man from a mansion on the hill
*Full drums, both guitars
It was out on Thunder Road, Tweeter at the wheel
Pulled into paradise, you could hear the tires squeal
It was Jan who'd told him many times "It was you to me who'd taught:
In Kingston everything's legal as long as you don't get caught"
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they standing
Never saw them when they fell

*Single guitar, drum beat only
Some place by Riway prison they ran out of gas
The undercover cop cornered 'em, said "You didn't think that this could last"
Jan jumped up out of bed said "There's some place I gotta go"
She took the gun out of the drawer, and said "It's best that you don't know"
*Full drums, both guitars
An ambulance rolled up, State Trooper close behind
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind
The undercover cop was found face down in a field
The Monkey Man was on the river bridge using Tweeter as a shield
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they standing
Never saw them when they fell

*Drum beat only, single guitar
The town of Jersey City is quieting down again
I'm sitting in a gambling club called The Lion's Den
The TV set is blown up, every bit of it is gone
Ever since the night when they showed that the Monkey Man was on
*Full drums, both guitars
Maybe I'll go to Florida, get myself some sun
There ain't no more opportunity here and everythings been done
Sometimes I think of Tweeter, sometimes I think of Jan
Sometimes I don't think about nothin' but the Monkey Man
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they standing
Never saw them when they fell
