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
