Pink Monkey Veins

Verse 1

Down on Mariposa where the streetlights stutter

I found a monkey with a switchblade grin

He said son you look like borrowed trouble

I said mister I was born already in

Pre-Chorus

So we slipped through alleys

Where the dogs all know my name

Painted our shadows

On a wall we couldn't tame

Chorus

Pink monkey running through my veins tonight

Pink monkey tearing at the seam

Pink monkey running through my veins tonight

Nothing here is what it seems

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh run run

Oh-oh run run

Verse 2

Stole a Cadillac made of tin and whispers

Drove it straight into the ocean's mouth

The radio played something bent and gorgeous

Static licking all the windows south

Pre-Chorus

And the moon wore lipstick

Smeared across a crooked sky

We howled at nothing

Just to hear the nothing cry

Chorus

Pink monkey running through my veins tonight

Pink monkey tearing at the seam

Pink monkey running through my veins tonight

Nothing here is what it seems

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh run run

Oh-oh run run

Bridge

Twist me

Wring me

Hang me from the chandelier

Kiss me

Sting me

I'm the animal you fear

Chorus

Pink monkey running through my veins tonight

Pink monkey tearing at the seam

Pink monkey running through my veins tonight

Nothing here is what it seems

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh run run

Oh-oh run run

Oh-oh run run

Running

Down

Mariposa

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Pink monkey running through my veins tonight

Pink monkey tearing at the seam

Pink monkey running through my veins tonight

Nothing here is what it seems

Outro

Oh-oh run run

Oh-oh run run

Oh-oh run run

Oh-oh run run

Oh-oh run run

Oh-oh run run

Fade out
