The Monster Song Lyrics by Jim White

Permanent Stranger

0

If you should catch a monster in a net of cabled steel
Would you feel a little bad as the infantry approaches?
And they lock him in a cage and his rage is all consumed
Would you feel a little bad, like you wish you'd never caught him?
I tell you, I don't hear about it much on the TV
I didn't never learn about it in school
I don't really like talking about it just in passing
But that monster is a, he's a friend of mine
And if you could build yourself like a mason builds a wall
Would you feel at all confused that you made yourself so perfect?
That you could block the angry wind, or stop a bouncing ball
That monster comes along, he might just tear you to pieces
I tell you, I don't hear about it much on thе TV
I didn't never learn about it in school
I don't rеally like talking about it just in passing
But that monster is a, he's a friend of mine
Monsters don't die, they hide away
Just to return another day
Nothing to do, nothing to say
Except that monster is a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of mine
Now the orchestra will play, the tide will come and go
If you understand this game, you know not to stop the monster
But to help him on his way, to give him a little push or a pull
Or a shove in the right direction, learning his intentions
I tell you, I don't hear about it much on the TV
I didn't never learn about it in school
I don't really like talking about it just in passing
But that monster is a friend of mine
