lyrics

Monster see, Monster do
I think I'm In love with you
Aggravated, can of worms
I will get what I deserve

Arms open wide, I wont go in
Saint peter in the den of sin
He snuck around, he thought of home
God just winked his eye on a throne

And she spoke like an owl
And she rose like a sea
And she cried like a lamby
And she had had plenty enough of me

Monkey spits, monkey runs
My mouth was like a loaded gun
Coughing fits, slurred words
We held hands inside a plastic urn

Snoozing house, the people inside
Sick of the sentimental curse I lied
The towers we built, of straw and twine
I huffed and puffed and blew the whole thing wide

And she spoke like an owl
And she rose like a sea
And she cried like a lamby
And she had had plenty enough of me

Wet towels in twine, whipping post
39 lashes for the holy host
I held your hair, inside the car
Pulled you tight like a hackamore
The speed I drive, out of line
My foggy memory a twisted vine
The look on your face, the state of your eyes
You need a silver bullet run and hide

And she spoke like an owl
And she rose like a sea
And she cried like a lamby
And she had had plenty enough of me
