In this circus top where the world’s a stage
I’ve come to do my spot when the Freakshow plays
I get electric shocks from rattling my cage
I don’t know when to stop can’t tear myself away
And just like railway tracks were built for landing aeroplanes
You are my everything
I knew I was born for something
I’m just a monkey on a string
I’m just a monkey on a string
and you’re my everything
I’m just a monkey on a string
Hanging myself up on someone like you
Is just a gift I’ve got like I was born to do
I get electric shocks…
I’m just a monkey on a string
