I'm coming down
coming down like a monkey
but it's alright.
Like a load on your back that you can't see
but it's alright.
Try to shake it loose
cut it free
so let it go
just get it away from me.
'Cause tonight
tonight
tonight
I'm gonna make it right tonight
tonight
tonight.
I'm going down
going down like a monkey
but it's alright.
Try to pick yourself up
carry that weight that you can't see
Don't you know it's alright?
It's like a helter skelter
going down and down
Round and round
but just get it away from me.
Because tonight
tonight
tonight
We're gonna make it right tonight
tonight
tonight.
I got some money in my pocket
about ready to burn
I don't remember where I got it
I gotta get it to you.
So please answer the phone
'cause I keep calling
But you're never home
what am I gonna do?
Tonight
tonight
tonight
I'm gonna make it right tonight
tonight
tonight.
You keep telling me I've got everything
you say I've got everything I want.
You keep telling me you're gonna help me
you're gonna help me
But you don't!
But now I'm in too deep
you see it's got me so that I just can't sleep.
Get me out of here
please get me out of here.
Just help me
I'll do anything
anything if you'll just help
Get me out of here!
I'm coming down
coming down like a monkey
but it's alright. . . .
'Cause tonight
tonight
tonight
Maybe we'll make it right tonight
tonight
tonight.
Please get me out of here
just someone get me out of here
Just help me
I'll do anything
anything if you'll just help
Get me out of here!
Tonight
I'm gonna make it right tonight
