I fell into a barrel of monkeys; I tried real hard but I couldn't get the money he's calling me baby but he ain't my honey I fell into a barrel of monkeys it started with a rumor and it ended with a gun and somewhere in the middle I got burned up by the sun when I rose up like a phoenix I was feeling #1 it just all goes to show you it ain't over 'til it's done who what where and I don't know why but you're only as good as the drugs you buy another suicide on the 405, another night of drinking in another dive there's a million dead stars in the night-time sky; I'd shed a little tear but there's no time left to cry I saw a giant head driving down Hollywood Boulevard! I came from the land of ice and snow seeking fame and fortune where the plastic grows murder, earthquake, riot, fire--I tried to put it out but it just fed my desire I got a brand new name and a brand new nose and the crowd keeps yelling "Baby go, go, go!" I fell into a barrel of monkeys; I tried so hard but I couldn't get the money love me two times except for Sunday I fell into a barrel of monkeys
