2 Contributors The Monster Lyrics [Intro] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed Get along with the voices inside of my head You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy [Verse 1] 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 Wantin' my cake, and eat it too, wantin' it both ways Fame made mе a balloon 'cause my ego inflated Whеn I blew, see, but it was confusing 'Cause all I wanted to do's be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam Hit the lottery, ooh-wee But with what I gave up to get it was bittersweet It was like winnin' a used mink Ironic 'cause I think I'm gettin' so huge I need a shrink I'm beginnin' to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep Goin' coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith But I'm actually weirder than you think, 'cause I'm— [Chorus] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed Get along with the voices inside of my head You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy Well, that's nothin' [Post-Chorus] New-hoo, ooh-hoo, new-hoo, ooh-hoo New-hoo, ooh-hoo, well, that's nothin' New-hoo, ooh-hoo, new-hoo, ooh-hoo New-hoo, ooh-hoo, new-hoo, ooh-ho [Verse 2] 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 conjurin' Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from Yeah, ponderin'll do you wonders No wonder you're losin' your mind, the way it wanders Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo I think it went wanderin' off down yonder And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen 'Cause I need an interventionist To intervene between me and this monster Save me from myself and all this conflict 'Cause the very thing that I love's killin' me and I can't conquer it My OCD's conkin' me in the head, keep knockin' Nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin' I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin' Don't shoot the messenger [Chorus] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed Get along with the voices inside of my head You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy Well, that's nothin' [Post-Chorus] New-hoo, ooh-hoo, new-hoo, ooh-hoo New-hoo, ooh-hoo, well, that's nothin' New-hoo, ooh-hoo, new-hoo, ooh-hoo New-hoo, ooh-hoo, new-hoo, ooh-ho
