Security
Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey to life


Cover me when I run
Cover me through the fire
Something knocked me out' the trees
Now I'm on my knees
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know when you're going to shock the monkey


Fox the fox
Rat the rat
You can ape the ape
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I can't take any more
Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey


Wheels keep turning
Something's burning
Don't like it but I guess I'm learning


Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey


Cover me, when I sleep
Cover me, when I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey


Too much at stake
Ground beneath me shake
And the news is breaking


Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey


Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life
