Testo Steel Monkey - Jethro Tull

Testo della canzone Steel Monkey (Jethro Tull), tratta dall'album Songs From The Tower

As the moon slips up and the sun slips down

I'm a highrise jockey, I'm heaven bound

Do the woorkboot shuffle, loose brains from brawn

I'm a monkey puzzle and the lid is on

Can you guess my name? Can you guess my trade?

I'm going to catch you anyway

Well, you might be right, I'll give you guesses three

Feel me climbing up your knee

Guess what I am

I'm a steel monkey

Now, some men hustle and some just think

And some go running before you blink

Some look up and some look down

From three hundred feet above the ground

Well, can you guess my name? Can you guess my trade?

I won't rest before the world is made

Arm in arm, the angels fly

Keep me from falling out the sky

Steel monkey

Steel monkey, ah

I work in the thunder and I work in the rain

I work at my drinking, and I feel no pain

I work on women, if they want me to

You can have me a climb all over you

Well, have you guessed my name and have you guessed my trade?

I'm cheap at the money I get paid

In the sulphur city, where men are men

We bolt those beams, then climb again

Steel monkey

Ah!

Thanks very much

Hi, hi, hi, hi

Thanks very much, that was "Steel Monkey"

From our new LP, "Crest of a Knave"

And this is heavier and it's very offensive

And it doesn't have a taste of anything

But it's, you know, not bad
