The Monster (Live) - 张汉盛/尚雯婕 (Laure Shang)

I'm friends with the monster

That's under my bed

Get along with the voices

Inside of my head

You're trying to save me

Stop holding your breath

And you think I'm crazy

Yeah you think I'm crazy

I wanted the fame

But not the cover of Newsweek

Oh well guess beggars can't be choosey

Wanted to receive attention for my music

Wanted to be left alone in public

Excuse me

For wanting my cake and eat it too

And wanting it both ways

Fame made me a balloon

'Cause my ego inflated

When I blew; see but it was confusing

'Cause all I wanted to do

Is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf

Abused ink used it as a tool

When I blew steam

Hit the lottery oh wee

But with what I gave up

To get it was bittersweet

It was like winning a used mink

Ironic 'cause I think

I'm getting so huge I need a shrink

I'm beginning to lose sleep:

One sheep two sheep

Going cuckoo and cooky as Kool Keith

But I'm actually weirder than you think

'Cause I'm

I'm friends with the monster

That's under my bed

Get along with the voices

Inside of my head

You're trying to save me

Stop holding your breath

And you think I'm crazy

Yeah you think I'm crazy

Well that's nothing

Well that's nothing

Now I ain't much of a poet

But I know somebody once told me

To seize the moment

And don't squander it

'Cause you never know

When it all could be over tomorrow

So I keep conjuring sometimes

I wonder where these thoughts spawn from

Yeah pondering'll do you wonders

No wonder you're losing your mind

The way it wanders

Yoda-loda-le-hee-hoo

I think it went wandering off down yonder

And stumbled on 'ta Jeff VanVonderen

'Cause I need an interventionist

To intervene between me

And this monster

And save me from myself

And all this conflict

'Cause the very thing

That I love's killing me

And I can't conquer it

My OCD's conking me in the head

Keep knocking nobody's home

I'm sleepwalking

I'm just relaying what the voice

In my head's saying

Don't shoot the messenger

I'm just friends with the

I'm friends with the monster

That's under my bed

Get along with the voices inside of my head

You're trying to save me

Stop holding your breath

And you think I'm crazy

Yeah you think I'm crazy

Well that's nothing

That's under my bed

Get along with the voices

Inside of my head

You're trying to save me

Stop holding your breath

And you think I'm crazy

Yeah you think I'm crazy

I'm friends with the monster

That's under my bed

Get along with the voices

Inside of my head

You're trying to save me

Stop holding your breath

And you think I'm crazy

Yeah you think I'm crazy

Well that's nothing

Well that's nothing

Well that's nothing

Well that's nothing
