Meet me on the bridge
Tie me to the track
The organ grinder's playing
But the monkey's on your back
Cigarette and blindfold
Thunder on the ground
Violent earth shaking
Doesn't make a sound

What the hell are you still keeping up your sleeve?
The smile on your face has me wondering
That's the shirt off my back if we're counting still
I'm over understanding 'cause I never will

Meet me on the bridge
Tie me to the track
The organ grinders playing
But the monkey's on your back
Cigarette and blindfold
Thunder on the ground
Violent earth shaking
Doesn't make a sound

If I lay my guard down and give you one for free
Would it keep the specter from following me?
The last thing I've got and you want it too
If you're gonna have it, there's nothing I can do

Meet me on the bridge
Tie me to the track
The organ grinders playing
But the monkey's on your back
Cigarette and blindfold
Thunder on the ground
Violent earth shaking
Doesn't make a sound
