Monster on My Back Lyrics by Marilyn Rucker

Tea Pot Lady

0

Nobody knows the future I’ve imagined
Nobody sees this monster on my back
No one but me hears that monster crying out loud
“Who could love me? Who could love me now?”
I’ve got an act
I’ve learned the lines I’m given
Root beer and rum is my drink, I think
I sit in this bar
And watch the others like me
Slowly washing disappointment down the sink
Money, yes money might give some consolation
Luxury and fame might ease the pain
But we all ask the same thing of our whiskey, wine and beer:
“If love’s all that makes life worth living, why are we still here?”
Nobody knows the future I’ve imagined
Nobody sees this monster on my back
No one but me hears that monster crying out loud
“Who could love me? Who could love me now?”
