Monsters

Something For Kate


I was hanging upside down from the overpass

Waiting to discover something about the world

I couldn't get with the program

And I couldn't listen to them

It was like trying to think in reverse

And I don't want to slide into apathy

And I don't want to die in captivity

But these monsters follow me around

Hunting me down, trying to wipe me out


Wipe me out

Wipe me out

Wipe me out


I was hiding away under water

Waiting for distance and buying some time

Trying to be two hundred thousand years younger

So I could excuse myself from humankind

'Cause I don't want to be a container

Or a bastard with a ten page disclaimer

But these monsters spin me around

Get me down, just try and shut me out


Shut me out

Shut me out

Shut me out


Hold it in your head

Hold it in your head

Hold it in your head


Believe and make believe and make believe


(Shut me out) I was hiding away under water

(Shut me out) Waiting for distance, waiting for time

(Shut me out) And I don't want to slide into apathy

(Shut me out) And I don't want to live in captivity
