Last night... thinking about last night
She was dark and discreet, she was light on her feet We went up to her room and she lowered the boom Last night... thinking about last night Last night... thinking about last night
Am
Down below they danced and sang in the street
Am
G
While up above the walls were steaming with heat
Last night... thinking about last night Last night... thinking about last night I was feeling no pain, feeling good in my brain I looked in her eyes, they were full of surprise Last night... thinking about last night Last night... thinking about last night
Am
I asked her to marry me she smiled and pulled out a knife
Am
G
The party's just beginning she said, it's your money or your life
Last night... thinking about last night Last night... thinking about last night Now I'm back at the bar, she went a little too far She done me wrong, all I got is this song Last night... thinking about last night Last night... thinking about last night

Heading for the light
Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails I've rolled and I've tumbled through the roses and the thorns And I couldn't see the sign that warned me, I'm Heading for the light

Ooh, I didn't see

I didn't know the mess I was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change And I get the strangest feeling, as I'm Heading for the light Ooh, my hands were tired Jokers and fools on either side But still I kept on till the worst had gone Now I see the hole I was in My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change And I get the strangest feeling, as I'm Heading for the light I see the sun ahead, I ain't never looking back All the dreams are coming true as I think of you Now there's nothing in the way to stop me Heading for the light Now there's nothing in the way to stop me Heading for the light |

Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash
Fmaj7
Am
They stayed up all night selling cocaine and hash
Am
G
To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan
Fmaj7
Am
For reasons unexplained she loved the Monkey Man
Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to Vietnam And found out the hard way, nobody gives a damn They knew that they found freedom just across that Jersey line So they hopped into a stolen car took Highway 99
Am
Em7
And the walls came down, all the way to hell
D
Never saw them when they're standing
Am
Am
Never saw them when they fell
The undercover cop never liked the Monkey Man Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the can Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bill She made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill It was out on thunder road, Tweeter at the wheel They crashed into paradise you could hear them tires squeal The undercover cop pulled up said, "Everyone of you is a liar If you don't surrender now, it's gonna go down to the wire" And the walls came down, all the way to hell Never saw them when they're standing Never saw them when they fell |

An ambulance rolled up, a state trooper close behind Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit He was taking the whole thing personal, he didn't care about the loot Jan had told him many times, "It was you to me who taught In Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught" And the walls came down, all the way to hell Never saw them when they're standing Never saw them when they fell |

Someplace by Rahway prison they ran out of gas The undercover cop had cornered them said, "Boy, you didn't think that this could last!" Jan jumped up out of bed said, "There's someplace I gotta go!" She took a gun out of the drawer and said, "It's best if you don't know" The undercover cop was found face down in a field The Monkey Man was on the river bridge using Tweeter as a shield Jan said to the Monkey Man, "I'm not fooled by Tweeter's curl I knew it long before he ever became a Jersey girl" Then the walls came down, all the way to hell Never saw them when they're standing Never saw them when they fell |

Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again I'm sitting in a gambling club called the Lion's Den The TV set was blown up, every bit of it is gone Ever since the nightly news show that the Monkey Man was on I guess I'll go to Florida and get myself some sun There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done Sometime I think of Tweeter, sometime I think of Jan Sometimes I think of nothing but the Monkey Man Then the walls came down, all the way to hell Never saw them when they're standing Never saw them when they fell |
