Lyrics

[Part I] A monster is an imaginary animal A monster is an imaginary animal compounded of incongruous elements It's what it says in the in the book. I looked it up. It says that in the dictionary Sounds like a dictionary phrase. Sometimes, you can tell when things come from the dictionary A monster is an imaginary animal, I wonder if it sounded like anyone that you know? No? Alright It's an imaginary animal We've patched ours together from parts that don't matter We've patched ours together from parts that don't matter We made him live for someone to talk to We made him livе for someone to talk to He's monstrous and kind, hе's playful and charming People love him and we love him too People love him and we love him too One small flaw, it seems he's missing something Just a small fly in the ointment It's... he's got no heart He's got no heart He's got no part of a future, no part of a past Nothing to share, nothing to confide He's got no heart He's got no heart He's got no heart He's got no heart What kind of a price to pay for no comfort? What kind of a price to pay for no comfort? No comfort, no [Part II] A monster stands at the edge of the winter lake It looks out of the kingdom of the land of the silence Stretching out between us A King of the land of the silence stretching out between us Most like forever Or a winter lake It's most like forever Or a winter lake Frozen, white and [?]; tense and unbroken It's the silence between us [?] King of the Land of the Silence between us [?] It Signifies Time A monster stands at the edge of the winter lake It looks out Mmmmmmmmm... Great white bear, a great white bear, a great white bear, a great white bear Mooby Bear! Mooby Bear! [Part III] But for Monsters it's always summertime Don't you see he doesn't see? Don't you see he doesn't see? Don't you see he doesn't see? He doesn't see! Through the leaves Through the trees Like it was a-snowing There were parts and parts and parts of flowers blowing The monster, he takes a walk with you A monster takes a walk with you It's not so bad It's not so bad It's not so bad It's not so bad... Oh the wind was blowing Through the leaves it was showing There's a monster Walks with you A monster walks with you It's not so bad, it's It's not so bad, it's It's not so bad, it's [Part IV] Don't you see he doesn't see? Don't you see he doesn't see? Down the lake he goes Watching the water roll in Down the lake he goes In his pickup truck he got stereo dogs in the back He's at the water The water's big and it's Grey and big, he says "Big", he says "Big" "Don't you see how big it is? Don't you see how big it is?" Watching the water go in Molecules of it are so big they're bouncing off the rocks like popcorn You have to brush it from your hair Oh, oh So darling, reach your hand out Take a handful A molecule of your own choosing A souvenir of the day Monster walks with you A handful of air slips between your fingers Monster says "When I'm gone When I'm gone Just don't say I never gave you anything" And it's not so bad Not so bad, is it? It's not so bad It's not so bad, is it? It's not so bad, is it? It's not so bad Not so bad to be with me
