Monkey In The Middle (Prophet Chuck)

"Give us a break. We know you want to see him, But let's not give him the feeling, uh That all we are is curiosity seekers. If you could fall back a little bit, Give him a break, he's got a big job to do today." Well I was born a little apple seed. No one seemed to notice me. Stealing kisses in the dark, From two sisters hard to tell apart. I was the monkey in the middle But I never get caught. From the pump & dump to the bait & switch, I could do 'em all with the flip of a wrist. Even as a pup down on the farm, I never met a beast I couldn't charm. I was the monkey in the middle And I never get caught. Yeah, I was the monkey in the middle And I never get caught. Well St. Petersburg's a funky town. There's money to be made if you ask around. Microfilm, discotheques, Cash in hand and traveler's checks. I was the monkey in the middle And I never got caught. Yeah, I was the monkey in the middle And I never got caught. Alright. And I never got caught. And I NEVER got caught. Ahh... watch me now! Cleopatra ruled the Nile with an iron fist. Some folks they just couldn't handle it. They hunted down my river queen, Nobody laid a hand on me. I was the monkey in the middle But I never got caught. She owned the heart of Egypt land. They say she died by her own hand. There was a harmless game of truth or dare, She grabbed that snake and held it there. I was the monkey in the middle And I never got caught. Yeah, I was the monkey in the middle And I never got caught. Alright. And I never got caught. And I NEVER got caught. Ahh... watch me now! Well, I came into this world unknown. I've seen so many good people come and go. But I got no gray hairs upon my head, And I kept my cool to the bitter end. I am the monkey in the middle And I never get caught. You let Jesus make your dyin' bed, Tell him I've got other plans instead. Take the Reaper off his rounds, I can shut my own light out. I'm the monkey in the middle And I NEVER get caught. Yeah, I'm the monkey in the middle And I never get caught. Mr. Guitar Player! "I guess it just be that way sometimes... I guess it just be that way sometimes... Ooh I guess it just be that way sometimes..."
