She wants to go where the tide is low
And she wants to skip rocks
And play shadow games all day long
She wants to see the monkey do the tricks
And she sings, sings with the nativesPut your hands on the monkey
Take your hands off the money
Put your hands on the monkey
Run as fast as you can
'Cause we cant make promises
In the state that were in, that were inSometimes she sits with the lights off
And she closes like a flower in frigid weather
Well, shes run out of dimes
But shes bound for a lucky streak
Shes run out of dimes
But shes bound for a lucky streakPut your hands on the monkey
Take your hands off the money
Put your hands on the monkey
Run as fast as you can
'Cause we cant make promises
In the state that were in, state that were inShe wants to giggle like the girls in the schoolyard
She wants to turn into a Japanese tattoo
She wants to stop the imaginary movie cameras in her head
'Cause they follow her wherever she goesIn the state, in the state
In the state that were inPut your hands on the monkey
Take your hands off the money
Put your hands on the monkey
Run as fast as you can
'Cause we cant make promisesPut your hands on the monkey
Take your hands off the money
Put your hands on the monkey
Run as fast as you can
'Cause we cant make promises
In the state that were in
