Lyrics
2:45No one could explain it
3:17What went on that night
3:22How every living thing
3:27Just dropped out of sight
3:32We watched them take the bodies
3:36And row them back to shore
3:41Nothing like that ever
3:44Happened here before.
3:50On the east side of the island
3:55Not too far from the shore
4:00There stood the old house
4:04Of fifty years or more
4:09All the dorrs and windows
4:14Were locked inside and out
4:19The fate of those trapped in there
4:23Would never be found out.
4:28There ain't no life on Monkey Island
4:38No one cares and no one knows
4:47The moon hangs out on Monkey Island
4:56The night has dealt the final blow.
5:06The fish jumped from the water
5:10And started walking home
5:15The birds all started screaming
5:20And dove into the foam
5:24The night came out of nowhere
5:29And then a quiet rain
5:34Footsteps in the darkness
5:37Down a half forgotten road.
5:43There ain't no life on Monkey Island
5:53No one cares and no one knows
6:02The moon hangs out on Monkey Island
6:12The night has dealt the final blow.
6:59There ain't no life on Monkey Island
7:08The night has dealt the final blow.
7:55There ain't no life on Monkey Island
8:05No one cares and no one knows
8:13The moon hangs out on Monkey Island
8:22The night has dealt the final blow.
8:31There ain't no life on Monkey Island
8:41No one cares and no one knows
8:49The moon hangs out on Monkey Island
8:56The night has dealt the final blow
No one could explain it What went on that night How every living thing Just dropped out of sight We watched them take the bodies And row them back to shore Nothing like that ever Happened here before. On the east side of the island Not too far from the shore There stood the old house Of fifty years or more All the dorrs and windows Were locked inside and out The fate of those trapped in there Would never be found out. There ain't no life on Monkey Island No one cares and no one knows The moon hangs out on Monkey Island The night has dealt the final blow. The fish jumped from the water And started walking home The birds all started screaming And dove into the foam The night came out of nowhere And then a quiet rain Footsteps in the darkness Down a half forgotten road. There ain't no life on Monkey Island No one cares and no one knows The moon hangs out on Monkey Island The night has dealt the final blow. There ain't no life on Monkey Island The night has dealt the final blow. There ain't no life on Monkey Island No one cares and no one knows The moon hangs out on Monkey Island The night has dealt the final blow. There ain't no life on Monkey Island No one cares and no one knows The moon hangs out on Monkey Island The night has dealt the final blow
