A Summer Night

I went out riding on a summer night
And I met a good friend of mine
She was looking around at all the pretty young things
Like I'm also often inclined
Well don't you think there's something important we missed
That it's much too late to find
We'll never know, we'll just grow old
Feeling we wasted our time
The sun was falling on the rooftops
We found our way to a bar
After a few we had put it all down
Told each other just how dumb they all are
I saw us together in my heart but it's true
In bitterness we've gone too far
X's for eyes, tell no more lies
She can't hold up her head anymore
I took her home to where she lives all alone
And brought her inside
I told her then that I guessed she would
Probably survive
But being smart never helped anyone
And she mumbled something then cried
Well maybe so, I had to go
It's much too late for her and I

Well just how did you get here?
It seems you smashed the gate
There's no place for you among them
Now it's time to hide and wait
Howl into the night
For this is where you must roam
In the steamy jungles
Of Monster Island
Once you were so small
And it seemed you might belong
Then a terrible mutation
And it all turned out so wrong
There's nothing left to destroy
Where no man dares to go
But you just grow bigger and bigger
On Monster Island
Can you hear the others
Glory stories of the horror days
When it's time to destroy Tokyo
There are a million ways
What do you really want
It's dangerous to know
As we stalk the beaches
Of Monster Island

Here I am again
Soiled with need
I've got a secret
Just you and me
I know it doesn't matter
Except for stubborn pride
But on our very souls
The debts have run so high
Freedom has no meaning
Without the rock of shame
Eroded by the ocean
Washed out with the waves
Look me in the eyes
And rightly be afraid
For if you see a monster
We're one and the same
I know it is a burden
Desire grown so old
I wish it could console me
That you don't let me go
Because I've wandered far away
I dream you are my home
And even more it hurts me
To see you on your own

Chorusing

When we hear the chorus sing
You know it don't mean anything
Shout along when you know
If you hear the chorus ring
Though it don't mean anything
Come on and let it go
Na-na-na
Ooh sha-na sha-na
Whoa oh-oh oh-oh
It's a nasty little song
You know you best be come along
Baby don't you know
It's a dirty sing along
You best be playin' all night long
Now baby, now baby lets go
When we chorus sing-a-ling
Mean it don't matter anything
I can't know anymore
If you hear the church bell ring
Donut matters everything
Will you come I'm sore
Eefin' chords will sound in vain
Livin' on a mattress stain
When it rains it pours
Acid twitches sound so plain
Livid rednecks pulse the main
Gory when it gores
First I hear a manhole gong
Flashing lights then came along
Open up the door
Thirsty smear is smelling strong
Fishnets show it off all wrong
The doctor wants some more
Whistled air and chorusing
Microwaves cook anything
Souse is longer you know
Even ears or pickled feet
Shout along for chorus meat
Whoa oh-oh oh-oh
Raise the roof then raise the cane
'Till the blood flows down the drain
I'll show 'em how to dance
Electric shocks inside the brain
Turning pleasure into pain
Give me one more chance
Bong diggy dang diggy (etc)
Diggy diggy dang dang
Bo-hey now
