Monkey In The Middle

Slip me the answer
Or give me a clue
Do you think the party is all about you
You're in the middle
You're everywhere
Sometimes out of focus
But you're always there

You wake up at sundown
You're in the wrong bed
With all these questions
Eating your head
Who did you meet there
What did you do
Forgotten by many
Remembered by few

You think everybody loves you
But everybody hates the same
Monkey in the middle
Urban jungle, hall of fame
Everybody loves you
Still nobody knows your name
Your name

I'll slip you the answer
I'll give you a clue
Don't think the party is all about you
You're in the middle
But you're nowhere
Always out of focus
But
What do you care

Everybody loves you
But everybody hates the same
Monkey in the middle
Urban jungle, hall of fame
Everybody loves you
Still nobody knows your name
Your name

It took us so long to see
But your monkey-suit will crack
The beauty will come off in flakes
Your tiny plastic world will quake

You think everybody loves you
But everybody hates the same
Monkey in the middle
Urban jungle, hall of fame
Everybody loves you
But everybody hates the same
Monkey in the middle
Urban jungle, hall of fame
Everybody loves you
Still nobody knows your name
Your name
