Everywhere I turn everywhere I go
There's another monkey on my back
Everything I see everything I hear
There's another junkie with a rat
This is where it's at
The centre of the universe
Everywhere I turn everywhere I go
There's another monkey on my back
Everything I see everything I hear
There's another junkie with a rat
This is where it's at
The centre of the universe

What do you do
When the love's no longer in there
Where you're going
Don't wake from the nightmare
What do you do when nobody walks beside you
It's not what you have
What you choose that defines you

Everywhere I turn everywhere I go
There's another army holding back
Waiting for the word to come round
We just need a signal to attack
This is where it's at
The centre of the universe

What do you do
When the love's no longer in there
Where you're going
Don't wake from the nightmare
What do you do when nobody walks beside you
It's not what you have
What you choose that defines you

Everywhere I turn everywhere I go
There's another monkey on my back
Everywhere I turn everywhere I go
There's another monkey on my back
This is where it's at
The centre of the universe

What do you do
When the love's no longer in there
Where you're going
Don't wake from the nightmare
What do you do when nobody walks beside you
It's not what you have
What you choose that defines you

Well the black rain falls in the promised land
The black rain falls in the promised land
Keep your distance, stay the shadow
Don't promise a thing tomorrow
What do you do when nobody walks beside you
It's not what you have
What you choose that defines you
