Monkey On A Wire Lyrics - Rattlin' Bones - Kasey Chambers

They make no sounds, 

They ring no bell 

Leaving no traces, 

They got no tales to tell 

They find no home, 

They make no love 

Casting no shadow while balancing above 

Oh oh here I go me and my desire 

Everyone's got their own monkey on a wire 

Oh oh down below, leader of the choir 

Is waiting for the next monkey on a wire 

They keep no fear, no second prize 

Walking like Jesus with voodoo in their eyes 

They come in green, they leave in black 

Holding dead roses with bullets in their backs 

Oh oh here I go me and my desire 

Everyone's got their own monkey on a wire 

Oh oh down below, wrapped up in the fire 

Waiting for the next monkey on a wire 

They make no sound, they ring no bell 

Walking like Jesus goin' straight-on into hell 

Oh oh there you go, you and your desire 

Everyone's got their own monkey on a wire 

Oh oh down below, leader of the choir 

Is waiting for the next monkey on a wire 

Oh oh down below, wrapped up in the fire 

Waiting for the next monkey on a wire 

Waiting for the next monkey on a wire 

Waiting for the next monkey on a wire
