lyrics

Paddling forwards and backwards at the same time
Paddling forwards and backwards at the same time
Spinning round, in my boat, getting dizzy, going blind

I left my love at bottom of the ocean
forgot to feed it and flushed it down the drain
Too many tourists were causing a commotion
I fled the scene, I just had to get away

I am the monkey on my back
I am the monkey on my back

Don't let me go rowing in a storm in a tea cup
Flee each time you hear the Siren's song!
Nervous breakdown breaks the crown of love
in a world of sympathy for every Siren's song

(forwards and backwards and...)

I'm stomping spiders to feel like Daddy Longlegs
My shoes are red and mosquitos suck my blood
All of this hubris is useless on the wrong bets
I lose a bet and my own hands ruff me up

(Let me tell you that I am...)
I am the monkey on my back
(backwards and forwards and...)
I am the monkey on my back

Oh my God, you're so caught up on what people tell you
When in doubt, just think about tonight:
Lots and lots of scary drugs but love leaves abusers
Please, be sure to keep in mind, it's blind!

Paddling forwards and backwards at the same time
Paddling forwards and backwards at the same time
Spinning round, in my boat, getting dizzy, going blind
