Lyrics
v/1 you can only kick yourself for so long
then you have to forgive & move on
all these chances that i've been given
to do the things i love to make a living
it's all right time & right place
there is no saving grace
it's only my tail that i chase
left with no defense to use to make a case
ch/ just like a monkey on our backs
it's prime time we faced the facts
i wont fall thru the cracks
but i'm still lerning to relax
v/2 if god only helps those who help themselves / i'll have to leave myself behind/
i was walking in a fog
just a slave like pavlov's dog
still praying for one last break
but i cant stop these hands that shake
v/3 this feeling is here to stay
no matter how hard i try to make it go away
in order help you i'll have to help myself
i'll have to leave myself behind
but inside this troubled mind
i hear a voice that's so unkind
can you help me to unwind
this cruel clock that ticks down time
ch/ - just like a monkey on our backs
it's high time we faced that the facts
before i slip down thru the cracks
i'll still be learning to relax
then you have to forgive & move on
all these chances that i've been given
to do the things i love to make a living
it's all right time & right place
there is no saving grace
it's only my tail that i chase
left with no defense to use to make a case
ch/ just like a monkey on our backs
it's prime time we faced the facts
i wont fall thru the cracks
but i'm still lerning to relax
v/2 if god only helps those who help themselves / i'll have to leave myself behind/
i was walking in a fog
just a slave like pavlov's dog
still praying for one last break
but i cant stop these hands that shake
v/3 this feeling is here to stay
no matter how hard i try to make it go away
in order help you i'll have to help myself
i'll have to leave myself behind
but inside this troubled mind
i hear a voice that's so unkind
can you help me to unwind
this cruel clock that ticks down time
ch/ - just like a monkey on our backs
it's high time we faced that the facts
before i slip down thru the cracks
i'll still be learning to relax

Love the song and the playing. Think the vocals are kinda' lost in the mix though. Lyrics are great, man. I'll have to check out some more from you later. Thanks for letting me hear this one.
