| Lyrics |
i held the monkey's paw and put my wishes into playto know the will of God, to show a motive for delayi'm holding on to find myselfjust one more wishi found a pot of gold or something shining anywayand caught in my reflection a conviction held a bayi crafted a cross to adorn my neck and finally earnedmy due respectand then a jewel encrusted crownto complement my priestly gownjust big enough to wrihg me downand bring this temple to the groundfrom inside out without a soundi found a pot of gold todayi held the monkey's paw and put my wishes into playthanked heaven for the trophies but i still had hell to payso i brought my spoils to the altar's edgeheard You say obey insteadfor all my labors and best laid plans i'd only earneda reprimandforevermore to understand that dreams come true can kill a manif never graced by sovereign handsi held the monkey's paw
