My beloved monster and me We go everywhere together Wearing a raincoat that has four sleeves Gets us throught all kinds of weather She will always be the only thing That comes between me and the awful sting That comes from living in a world that's so damn mean My beloved monster is tough If she wants she will disrobe you But if you lay her down for a kiss Her little heart it could explode She will always be the only thing That comes between me and the awful sting That comes from living in a world that's so damn mean La la la la la la la la La la la la la la |

Mama gripped onto the milkman's hand And then she finally gave birth. Years go by, still I don't know Who shall inherit this earth. And no one will know my name until it's on the stone, Oh, woah, This could be your lucky day in hell. Never know who it might be at your doorbell. This could be your lucky day in hell, in hell. Waking up with an ugly face, Winston Churchill in drag. Looking for a new maternal embrace, Another tired old gag. Am I just a walking bag of chewed-up dust and bones? Oh, woah, This could be your lucky day in hell. Never know who it might be at your doorbell . This could be your lucky day in hell, in hell. Father Theresa, you can't make me into you. I never wanna be like you. Why can't you see, it's me? You know it's time to let me go. This could be your lucky day in hell. Never know who it might be at your doorbell. This could be your lucky day in hell, in hell, in hell. This could be your lucky day in hell. Never know who it might be at your doorbell, in hell. This could be your lucky day in hell, in hell, in hell, in hell. |

Got a 3 speed and banana seat sitting back on the sissy bar went to Sev and got a drink wish I was driving in Daddy's car And I looked up at the sky last night and I thought I saw a bomb And why won't you just tell me what's going on? riding down on Springhill road meeting Alfred out in the woods Dogs bark and mosquitos bite scratching the itch that makes it feel good And I looked into the mirror last night all I saw was a pretty blonde And why won't you just tell me what's going on? Life is funny but not ha ha funny Peculiar I guess You think I got it all going my way then why am I such a fucking mess? Want a pony and a birthday cake Want a party with a scary clown kneel down and bow to the princess kneel down for the queen of the town and I looked up at the sky last night and I thought I saw a bomb and why won't you just tell me what's going on tell me what's going on |

God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah The clown with the frown driving down to the sidewalk fair Finger on the trigger i tell you he is quite a scare God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah The kids fit their lids when their heads hear that crazy sound Their neighbour digs the flavour still he's moving to another town (and i don't believe he'll come back) God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah And i don't know how you're taking all the shit you see You don't believe anyone but most of all openly agree God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah God damn right it's a beautiful day ahah |

Did you think that i would laugh when you said i was small Did you think that that would pass as if nothing at all You say a lot of funny things, my little bunny And i almost always laugh, but that's not really funny You play the little bells and tell a good story You bake delicious pie and that's enough for me But i don't think that i'm your man, and you're my little honey And i like what you have to say, but that's not really funny You must not continue to wear my ?? like me The neighbour children threw the window to the sea The little boy will wipe his nose bacause it's runny Then point at me and laugh, but that's not really funny |

I like a girl with a dirty mouth
Someone that I can believe We had a window, not open too long But that time is good and gone And if I ever see her again Just walking by with some new guy I know that we will need to pretend And hope our eyes keep telling lies Sit on the back porch and wonder bout her What is she doing right now? Making somebody a happier man Dying her hair back to brown Once in a while your life gets so good Worth all the trouble of the past That was the case but I think I always knew Good things don't ever last And if I ever see her again Just walking by with some new guy I know that we will need to pretend And hope our eyes keep telling lies I like a girl with a dirty mouth Know that I can trust her We had our time but it didn't last too long And that time is good and gone That time is good and gone |

I'm gonna tell you what you need to hear
And i'm a little too late By three or four years And it may not make much sense Now that we are apart But i'm going to stop pretending That i didn't break your heart You see i never thought enough of myself To realize that losing me could mean Something like the tears in your eyes And i want to tell you i'm sorry And it's too late to start But i'm going to stop pretending That i didn't break your heart And it's christmas eve Years down the line Sitting here wishing i'd treated you better When you were mine And i have no way of knowing where you are But i'm going to stop pretending That i didn't break your heart I didn't mean to hurt you I didn't know what i was doing But i know what i have done |

There's nothing that i wanna do More than get alone and be with you Trouble with dreams is they don't come true And when they do they can't catch up to you You don't need a thing from me But i need something big from you 'cause you know i've got An awful lot of big dreams I'm walking down a lonely road Clear to me now but i was never told Trouble with dreams is you never know When to hold on and when to let go If you let me down it's alright At least that leaves something for me 'cause you know i've got An awful lot of big dreams This is the life that i must lead now Crossing fingers and wiping brow Trouble with dreams is you can't pretend Something with no beginning has an end You don't need a thing from me But i need something big from you 'cause you know i've got an awful lot of big dreams |

Feel like an old railroad man
Ridin' out on the bluemont line Hummin' along old dominion blues Not much to see and not much left to lose And i know i can walk along the tracks It may take a little longer but i'll know How to find my way back I feel like an old railroad man Who's really tried the best that he can To make his life add up to something good But this engine no longer burns on wood And i guess i may never understand The times that i live in Are not made for a railroad man I feel like an old railroad man Getting on board at the end of an age The station's empty and the whistle blows Things are faster now And this train is just too slow And i know i can walk along the tracks It may take a little longer but i'll know How to find my way back |

Was i wrong about the world
It's a beautiful new place Where else could a creep like me Meet such a pretty face Meeting every day with the rising sun Looking up it's looking like My losing streak is done Used to always feel like Wished that i was dressed better Never had a lot of luck Until i finally met her Feeling like the weight that weighed a ton Lifted off my shoulders now My losing streak is done Always felt like giving in To the feeling i can't win But i took it on the chin Now i'm finally cashing in Meeting every day with the rising sun Looking up it's looking like My losing streak is done My losing streak is done I said my losing streak is done Did you hear me I said my losing streak is done |
