Lyrics
Sometimes you're walking the sunny side
Next day you know all hell breaks loose
And when you're up you can hear them sweet talking
but when you're down you're all alone
Well it's a monkey's wedding
There's no sunshine without rain
Yeah it's a monkey's wedding
There's no pleasure without pain
And this is how my life's gonna be
A monkey's wedding
Now you're a high roller, a real tabloids man
Next day you're begging for beers and change
You said you'd love me 'til cows can fly
And then you left a note: I am gone
Well it's a monkey's wedding
There's no sunshine without rain
Yeah it's a monkey's wedding
There's no pleasure without pain
And this is how my life's gonna be
A monkey's wedding
You break and you heal
You take and you give
You love and you hate
you live and you die
Well it's a monkey's wedding
There's no sunshine without rain
Yeah it's a monkey's wedding
There's no pleasure without pain
And this is how my life's gonna be
A monkey's wedding
