Mary Shelley Lyrics by Dov Beck-Levine

Eggs Don’t Ride Bikes

2024

[Verse 1]
I saw Frankenstein's monster in my curtain today
He looked at me and I looked away
I said "I don't want to talk to you right now"
I'd rather go to sleep and have him crawl under my bed and tell me stories about the fire and the people in his town
I don't plan on remembering but it seems like a fun way to pass the time
And the time's gotta be passed somehow
Time's gotta be passed somehow
My mind is stretching so thin that I think I'm gonna wear it out
But I keep on using it anyway
I had a nice long talk with a friend last night
She said she was fine and I said I said I was alright
She said, "Frankenstein's monster wouldn't lie to me like that"
And so we talked about language and we talked about music and we talked about connections and we talked about humans
And we said we both try our best cause the best is all we can do
The best is all we can do
So why am I so fixated on that sewn-together smile
[Chorus]
Oh Frankenstein's monster got no mind of his own so I want Mary Shelley
Yeah, I want Mary Shelley
But I can't seem to get him, get him out of my home so he stays with me
[Verse 2]
I went to see a new band play some tunes the other day
I was invisible and so were they but they could sure play and it didn't change my mind
No, my mind was not changed
Cause I saw Frankenstein's monster sitting there, over there, playing a big guitar
He was singing and laughing and dancing and screaming and playing and I knew he was gonna go far
[Chorus]
Oh Frankenstein's monster got no mind of his own so I want Mary Shelley
Yeah, I want Mary Shelley
But I can't seem to get him, get him out of my home so he stays with me
[Verse 3]
I had a talk with Mary Shelley today and she said Frankenstein's monster is going away and I'm not to blame
We're not one in the same
I know we're different people cause I've looked into his eyes
Frank is always smiling, Mary's just like mine
We're both tired
[Chorus]
Oh Frankenstein's monster got no mind of his own so I want Mary Shelley
Yeah, I want Mary Shelley
But I can't seem to get him, get him out of my home so he stays with me
[Bridge]
And I haven't talked to Frankie M. in a while, it's been two whole years since he taught me how to smile and I never forgive him for that
[Chorus]
Woah-oh-oh-oh Frankenstein's monster got no mind of his own so I want Mary Shelley
Yeah, I want Mary Shelley
But I can't seem to get him, get him out of my home so he stays with me
He stays
