Monkey Mask Kings
(Police radio crackles)
All units, robbery in progress
Four suspects,
all wearing masks
One of them is wearing a monkey mask
Tom:
Boys, you know the drill IT IS PRIME
TIME! Black hoodie, black gloves,
monkey on my face Rolling through the asphalt like I own the
place Engine going crazy,
hear the rubber scream Four masked figures living like a fever dream
Clown in the back and he is laughing too loud Skull checking
bags while we move through the crowd Silent in the corner,
never saying a word I am the one giving orders that are
heard Got the whole town talking when the sirens go Nobody knows
my name but the legends grow Red and blue flashing in the
midnight rain They see that monkey mask and they know the name!
Tick-tock, time is running out Hear the streets starting up to shout
One more night, one more ride Three masked fools standing by my
side!
PRIME TIME! MONKEY MASK ON!
By the time they arrive,
we are already gone!
RED LIGHTS! BLACK CAR!
NIGHT SKY!
Hear the blacktop screaming as we fly by!
PRIME TOM! KING OF THE NIGHT!
Never needed a crown to steal the spotlight!
OH-OH-OH! LET THE SIRENS CRY!
Four masks in the dark and we are riding high!
MONKEY! CLOWN! SKULL! SHADOW!
Nobody knows where the four of us go!
National City Bank, eleven forty-five Clown says we are rich and I
roll my eyes Skull says hurry while the alarms ring Silent by
the doorway watching everything Duffel bags heavy,
gotta get outside Got a blacked-out muscle car waiting for the ride
Jump in the front,
hear the engine roar Clown still laughing like never before I say
man I hope I never see you again They say come on
Tom, we are practically friends Friends?
Nah, you are a headache to me!
Whole crew shouting as we hit the street Got a monkey mask,
nobody's clown Chase all night,
I am not slowing down One last score,
end of the line For one more night,
this asphalt is mine!
One last job, one last chance Red glare flashing in the distance
I do not need fame,
I do not need trust
Just the open road and a cloud of dust!
PRIME TIME! MONKEY MASK ON!
By the time they arrive,
we are already gone!
RED LIGHTS! BLACK CAR!
NIGHT SKY!
Hear the blacktop screaming as we fly by!
PRIME TOM! KING OF THE NIGHT!
Never needed a crown to steal the spotlight!
OH-OH-OH! LET THE SIRENS CRY!
Four masks in the dark and we are riding high!
MONKEY! CLOWN! SKULL! SHADOW!
Nobody
knows where the four of us go!
(Rain falling) Clown: Hey,
Tom! Same time next week?
Tom: Not happening Skull: Come on,
we are a team!
Tom: You are three of the most annoying people I ever met
Shadow: You really think you can just walk away?
Tom: Watch me
They call me a legend,
call me a ghost But the ones standing closest can hurt you
the most
Got a bag full of cash and a head full of doubt
Got a life waiting somewhere I have not figured out Maybe one
day I will forget all their names Forget all the robberies,
forget all the games
Tonight I am the monkey,
the king of the street And the pavement is shaking underneath my
feet!
PRIME TIME!
MONKEY MASK ON! Four renegades out
till the break of dawn!
BLACK CAR! FULL SPEED!
HEADLIGHTS! One
final ride beneath the starry nights!
PRIME TOM! REMEMBER THE NAME!
Before the lost memories,
before it all changed!
OH-OH-OH! LET THE SIRENS CRY!
The monkey mask legend will never die!
