Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash
They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash
To an undercover cop who had a sister named JanFor reasons unexplained she loved the Monkey ManTweeter was a boy scout before she went to VietnamAnd found out the hard way nobody gives a damn
They knew that they found freedom just across the Jersey LineSo they hopped into a stolen car took Highway 99(Chorus)
And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
The undercover cop never liked the Monkey ManEven back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at fourteen to a rackateer named BillShe made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill
It was out on thunder road - Tweeter at the wheel
They crashed into paradise - they could hear them tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up and said "Everyone of you's a liar
If you don't surrender now it's gonna go down to the wire(Chorus)
An ambulance rolled up - a state trooper close behind
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind
The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree
Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory
Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit
He was taking the whole thing personal
He didn't care about the loot
Jan had told him many times it was you to me who taught
In Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught(Chorus)
Someplace by Rahway prison they ran out of gas
The undercover cop had cornered them said "Boy, you didn'tthink that this could last"
Jan jumped out of bed said "There's someplace I gotta go"
She took a gun out of the drawer and said "It's best if you dont' know"
The undercover cop was found face down in a field
The monkey man was on the river bridge using Tweeter as a shield
Jan said to the Monkey Man "I'm not fooled by Tweeter's curl
I knew him long before he ever became a Jersey girl"(Chorus)
Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down againI'm sitting in a gambling club called the Lion's DenThe TV set been blown up, every bit of it is gone
Ever since the nightly news show that the Monkey Man was on
I guess I'll to to Florida and get myself some sun
There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done
Sometime I think of Tweeter, sometime I think of JanSometime I don't think about nothing but the Monkey Man(Chorus)
Nato da una famiglia di estrazione operaia (il padre Lee "Orbie" Orbison per trovare lavoro si spostò con la famiglia durante gli anni quaranta dapprima a Forth Wort nel Texas e successivamente nel Nuovo Messico), il giovane Orbison dimostrò presto interesse per la musica fondando una band all'età di tredici anni, i "Wink Westerners". Il suo primo successo commerciale arrivò nel giugno del 1956 con Ooby Dooby, scritta dai compagni di college e registrata negli studi del produttore Norman Petty a Clovis, nel Nuovo Messico. Il periodo di maggiore successo della sua carrierà durò fino a circa metà degli anni sessanta, durante il quale, oltre a scrivere ed interpretare i suoi maggiori successi (Only the lonely, In Dreams, Oh Pretty Woman), collaborò con grandi interpreti dell'epoca, partecipando a varie tournee con i Beach Boys negli Stati Uniti nel 1964, con i Rolling Stones in Australia nel 1965 e coi Beatles in Europa nel 1963, dove strinse rapporti di amicizia soprattutto con John Le
