John Daniel Berning - Drunker Side of Midnight (The Monkey Song)

On the drunker side of midnight
Stumbling around blind by bloodshot eyes
Chasing them clowns all around this town
And falling further behind
Remind me that I'm here
The bigger the crowd, the more I disappear
Into that place I can't ever escape
My hopes and doubts and fears
Maybe I, maybe I, maybe I've got a monkey on my back
Maybe I, maybe I just need some help shaking his grasp
Maybe I don't understand how the hell it got so bad
But I'm gonna figure it out
I've gotta figure it out
I'm on my way down to figure it out
And I'm running from the void
Got to escape before I am destroyed
But the harder I try the harder I fall
It makes no sense at all
On the drunker side of midnight
I'm just a fool who can't get it right
My love is strong but the words come out so wrong every goddamn time
Maybe I, maybe I, maybe I've got a monkey on my back
Maybe I, maybe I just need some help shaking his grasp
Maybe I don't understand how the hell it got so bad
But I'm gonna figure it out
I've gotta figure it out
I'm on my way down to figure it out
