[Verse 1]
There's a monkey on my back, there's a spider in my drink,
there's a cat in a bag and a heart that's gunna sink.
There's a camel smoking Camel and a very charming snake
and there's gifts that keep on giving and it's more than I can take.
I'm losing my mind and I'm deaf, dumb and blind.
 
[Chorus]
I've been shot down, stuck in the middle,   pushed round tryna pretend
you’ve got a good hand but what's the deal, man,   stop to think and feel, man.
Oh, no, it's starting to show,   the night is cold and the wind will blow,
turn the corner, hit the road, find somewhere else to [Interlude] go.

[Verse 2]
'Cause I'm looking for an answer, yelling swear words in the dark,
but the ground beneath me’s shaking from the pounding of my heart.
And I can feel my fingers bleeding, I can see my skin turn grey,
'cause I'm hemorrhaging my everything, giving it away.
I'm losing my mind and I'm deaf, dumb and blind.
 
[Chorus]
I've been shot down, stuck in the middle,   pushed round tryna pretend
you’ve got a good hand but what's the deal, man,   stop to think and feel, man.
Oh, no, it's starting to show,   the night is cold and the wind will blow,
turn the corner, hit the road, find somewhere else to [Interlude] go.
 
 
[Chorus]
I've been shot down, stuck in the middle,   pushed round tryna pretend
you’ve got a good hand but what's the dea,l man,   stop to think and feel, man.
Oh, no, it's starting to show,   the night is cold and the wind will blow,
turn the corner, hit the road, find somewhere else to go.
 
[Verse 3]
'Cause there's people dressed in leather and there's people dressed in fur,
and now everyone looks better cause I'm prettier than her.
Clutching glasses in the darkness, swilling whiskey to and fro,
and nobody's getting lonely, Sailor Jerry told me so.
But there's something in the ashes, yeah, there's something in the dark
?? all you need for wildfire is the tiniest of spark.
I'm losing my mind, I said: I’m losing my mind
and I'm deaf, dumb and blind.
 
[Chorus]
I've been shot down, stuck in the middle,   pushed round tryna pretend
you’ve got a good hand but what's the deal, man,   stop to think and feel, man.
Oh, no, it's starting to show,   the night is cold and the wind will
blow, turn the corner, hit the road, ....
 
[End-Chorus]
I've been shot down, stuck in the middle, ...
you’ve got a good hand but what's the deal, man, ...
Oh, no, it's starting to show, ...
  ???, turn the corner, hit the road, find somewhere else to go.
  find somewhere else to go.
