Straight, No Chaser Lyrics

Well Monk set it straight,
It's not a time you can wait,
You gotta be on,
you gotta be strong,
The time is here.
So trust your life to your ear,
Don't wait for no one,
You'll have to go on,
Because this moment is the place
Where it happens and there's no one who can
Help set it straight.Now Monk had a way
Of being out of his day
Ahead of his time
Not in the same rhyme
With other guys
He was uncommonly wise
He knew the answer
That time's a dancer

He knew you can't
Pack up the moment and
Take it with you on the road
'Cause now is the time
