Lyrics

Monster

Brain fried tonight through misuse Through misuse, through misuse You can't avoid static abuse Abuse, abuse

Without these pills, you're let loose You're let loose, you're let loose Stand up, get out, no excuse No excuse, no excuse

What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster? What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster? What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster? What's that coming over the hill?

Confused, mind bruised, it seeps out It seeps out, it seeps out Face down, home town looks so grey So grey, so grey

Convexed, you bend, twist and shout And shout, and shout Stand up, brush off, get moving Get moving, get moving

What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster? What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster? What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster? What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster?

Face down, home town, face down, home town Face down, home town, it looks so grey Face down, home town, face down, home town Face down, home town, it looks so grey Face down, home town, face down, home town Face down, home town, it looks so grey Face down, home town, face down, home town Face down, home town, it looks so grey

What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster? What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster? What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster? What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster? Is it a monster? (Whoa!)
