Monkey in the middle, that's exactly what I am
Jumping to get the goods that are being tossed to another man
They all think it's a game but I'm starting to think it's more
When my chest starts to congest with all these feelings I abhor
The pep band's going crazy now and all the trumpets will sound even when we're going down because we played the game and remembered our name, though we're not the same, we endured the pain
The refs are growing blinder, they ain't calling it so fair
But I keep on jumping higher for the prize up in the air
The good guy never wins but I never will conform
To the ways of cheating jealous snakes I always have abhorred
In Adrian Snood’s songs, soulful vocals and slow-moving alt-pop swirl together to create something distinctly moving. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 1, 2023
