|
No one could explain it |
|
What went on that night |
|
How every living thing |
|
Just dropped out of sight |
|
We watched them take the bodies |
|
And row them back to shore |
|
Nothing like that ever |
|
Happened here before. |
|
On the east side of the island |
|
Not too far from the shore |
|
There stood the old house |
|
Of fifty years or more |
|
All the dorrs and windows |
|
Were locked inside and out |
|
The fate of those trapped in there |
|
Would never be found out. |
|
There ain't no life on Monkey Island |
|
No one cares and no one knows |
|
The moon hangs out on Monkey Island |
|
The night has dealt the final blow. |
|
The fish jumped from the water |
|
And started walking home |
|
The birds all started screaming |
|
And dove into the foam |
|
The night came out of nowhere |
|
And then a quiet rain |
|
Footsteps in the darkness |
|
Down a half forgotten road. |
|
There ain't no life on Monkey Island |
|
No one cares and no one knows |
|
The moon hangs out on Monkey Island |
|
The night has dealt the final blow. |
|
There ain't no life on Monkey Island |
|
The night has dealt the final blow. |
|
There ain't no life on Monkey Island |
|
No one cares and no one knows |
|
The moon hangs out on Monkey Island |
|
The night has dealt the final blow. |
|
There ain't no life on Monkey Island |
|
No one cares and no one knows |
|
The moon hangs out on Monkey Island |
|
The night has dealt the final blow. |
