MONSTER MAGNET LYRICS

1. I Live Behind The Clouds

I’ve got a feeling that no one cares,
‘bout all that confetti I throw in the air
Nothing’s important yet everything is
If there ain’t no photo I just don’t exist
And the winds blow and the sky looks cool
So I make my home in the clouds
I see the oceans, the mountains, the plains
The rats and the suckers, the strong and the lame
Sometimes I dream about flying on down
Falling in love and life on the ground
And the winds blow and the sun comes up
And I stay behind the clouds
Yes I live behind the clouds
Raise Surya to burn off the soil
Make it safe for my eyes
I’d pay good money just to get proved wrong
for once in my goddamned life
Pull me in, drag me down into your ocean of love
My wings are ragged and my soul is gone
So tired of floating above
Sing to me baby your sweet refrain
I feel I’m coming apart in this rain
That’s all I need if that’s all I hear
Some beautiful music as I disappear
And the winds blow and the sun goes down
And I stay behind the clouds
Yes I stay behind the clouds
Yeah I live behind the clouds

2. Last Patrol

Oh mama, don't you know this is my last crusade
That's right, I'm cashin' out
Your boy has got it made
I've got a ten foot blond
She's waiting on the moon
That girl is living sin
I'm gonna be there soon

The last patrol

Well let the games begin
Let's let the circus burn
'Cause I'm a wise old dog and you have much to learn
It's a cosmic joke those suckers never knew
Before I melt this ball I'm gonna burn them too

The last patrol

Baby, can you save my heart and take this gig into the stars
Melt the ghosts inside my head
The same ones who told me rock was dead
No more will those dogs pervert the life I've lead in motion blur
I'll fry the fools who'll never learn
and leave them in my after-burn

Let's let the circus burn

3. Three King Fishers

Three kingfishers birds you shall have
Dive and swim in the ripples of your laugh
Oh, I dreamed you were a jewel
sitting in a golden crown on my head
Look at the tiny oceans in my hands
Waves of liquid colors touch the sand
Oh, I dreamed you were a jewel
sitting in a golden crown on my head

4. Paradise

Sure is cold here and I ain’t lyin’
The stairs lead nowhere and time is dead
If I had someone just to listen I’d tell them stories of paradise
When I was young I crossed an ocean
Crossed an ocean oh, so far away
Cosmic circus, instant passions
I found a way for me to make it pay
Well let me guess now, my little monkey
You love your salt and your cigarettes
And with your eyes shut you see Valhalla
You’ve lost some fight but you ain’t done yet
Now come a little bit closer
Well ain’t that nice
You and me girl, between the raindrops
Little pieces of paradise
Baby, I’m dyin’ so let’s do some cryin’
Let’s cherish some sins in the cave
Under the rainbow where no one will ever know
We’ll make such a beautiful place
Sure is hot here
It’s like a jungle
Hot enough for life to grow
But it’s just too much
I can’t take the hassle
There ain’t no air and it’s time to go
We’ve got the scars to prove us
Well ain’t that nice
All our laughin’ and all our cryin’ are little memories of paradise

5. Hallelujah

Brothers, never discount a Tuesday
You’d better spring for a good hotel
You got to keep the talent starry eyed
if you wanna keep ringin’ those bells
It ain’t no theory, it’s the law, boy
And while the dabblers keep douchin’ around
Old Eisenhower’s got his candles lit
a couple hours a’fore he rolls into town
I roll right into town
I roll right into town
Hallelujah
If you spend too much time chewin’ bubblegum
you’re apt to spoil the old appetite
Well I just reach in the hole of my enthusiastic soul
and show ‘em why they call me the creep
How’s about a little camp fire, ladies?
What say we sing a few songs?
We got music and mirth and we got peace on this earth
and I’m certain we all can get along
We all can get along, we all can get along, we all can get along
Cynthia and Jerry has a message they‘re sayin’
All of you squares go home
I say goddamn, I’m the luckiest man
Come on and all sing along
Hallelujah, hallelujah

6. Mindless Ones

Brother, can you help me now
I feel my mind is drifting
Lost between the sacred grains of sand forever shifting
Dormammu is looming and of that you can be sure
I can sense the yawning of his dimension’s door
So turned on
What we all knew is gone
Burn your wheels into the sun
Surrender to the mindless ones
Great Vishanti I am gone, a white haired girl is crying
All beliefs are thrown to hell, the ancient one is dying
My astral self is frozen and there’s no way I’m returning
I must gaze into the eye, I watch my body burning
I’m so turned on
What we all knew is gone
Burn your wheels into the sun
Surrender to the mindless ones

7. The Duke (Of Supernature)

[Verse 1:]
Come on,
Checking out the office girls on a Friday afternoon
Well she’s got the shape I need for the mine to break too soon
It’s all dead moons and chicken bones
And child don’t you fear
You’ll be singing in a higher purpose
Now your super nature’s clear
Yeah, it all comes near

[Chorus:]
Well I swear I did you baby
Back in 49 in vain
When the devil lost the big war
But he figured out a way
Now I watch and make the world come
And in dollars due thus die
And I praise the day the duke of Supernature’s coming back
Is coming back
Is coming back

[Verse 2:]
My old pal Icarus rode too close to the sun
And folks tend to get off sand
When they see how the job gets done
Now close your eyes, and pay no mind to the circles round your head
The answer to those questions
Is right here in my own bed
Yeah, oh
In my own bed
Hit it

[Chorus:]
Well I swear I did you baby
Back in 49 in vain
When the master lost the big one
But he figured out a way
Now I watch and make the world come
And in dollars due thus die
And I praise the day the duke of Supernature’s coming back
Is coming back now
Yeah

8. End Of Time

Someone tell those slobs that they got it wrong
They screwed us good and gave the whole circus away
Venus warm my bed ‘cause I’m coming home, now
I’m crashing the ship and just walking away
Somebody told me once that you were deeper than darkness
A shining face on a body that could send me to war
Naked flesh in the heart of a nuclear sunrise, baby
Drain that lizard’s tank until there ain’t anymore
Throw my burned out head in a lake of fire
I’ll satisfy my soul on the other side
Pump me till I’m gone and I can’t get back
I’ll smoke you fuckers out at the end of time
I saw this girl, once... her hair was on fire
Her eyes like stars
She’s never left my mind
A planet bird singing her phoenix song
Electric children’s voices at the end of time
Somebody told me once that you were deeper than darkness
A shining face on a body that could send me to war
Naked flesh in the heart of a nuclear sunrise, baby
Drain that lizard’s tank until there ain’t anymore
Throw my burned out head in a lake of fire
I’ll satisfy my soul on the other side
Pump me till I’m gone and I can’t get back
I’ll smoke you fuckers out at the end of time
Wash my tired brain in an acid bath
Fuck me till I’m dead and I can’t get back
I’ll satisfy my soul on the other side
and smoke my baby out at the end of time

9. Stay Tuned

Well there’s a crazy moon, been up all week
And it’s messing with the things that I think and do
And I find myself staring at a screen
wondering how far we’ve come since the death of cool
There ain’t no targets to aim for
No more mountains to climb
At least they’re not where they used to be
Why even keep it hard in a flat-lined world
where every piece of dung is the next big thing
What’s gonna happen now?
Will the good guys pull through somehow?
Stay tuned till next time and we’ll see what’s what
Now the boys upstairs with all their best and worst intentions
know that chaos always wins out in the end
They don’t got your back
so use your imagination
and be pretty goddamned careful how you choose your friends
So hold each other tight now and look into each other’s eyes
Don’t be too impressed with the ones above
‘Cause the world’s getting shaved by another drunken barber
and you gotta build your trust with the ones you love
Well the lies keep coming tough
We need wings to stay above
Stay tuned till next time and we’ll see what’s what

10. Strobe Light Beatdown

[Bonus Track]

Baby, I'm the only one who reckons your kind of fun
Goddamn is all I have to say
I love to hear you when you beg that way
Baby, the strobe light's on

Show some imagination and wear some pearls
My, my, my, my, my you're a healthy girl

Your mother's got a real big mouth
She slobbers when she goes down south
Goddamn is all I have to say
I love to hear it when she talks that way
your mother's got a real fine mouth

Use your imagination and wear some pearls
My, my, my, my, my what a healthy girl
Let's see what the mirror has to say
I think we got a winner

Bark your appreciation when your ship comes in
Baby, baby, baby there's no such thing as sin
I can see the black holes in your pretty eyes
There's no room in your banged out little heart left for surprise

No room in your banged out little head left for surprise

11. One Dead Moon

[Bonus Track]

Hey girl, don't act surprised
You knew you'd see me here
Been a long, long time for you and me
Somewhere along the way the light just left your eyes
And I'd hate to think it was because of me
I hope you're happy with that drone you found
and he's saying all the things you want him to
Girl, I know you and you need those lies
'cause the truth just takes so much of you

Just one thing before I walk away
Honey, you're one dead moon
And I don't expect that old silver light to come back soon

Your beauty, oh there's no denying it
You were the silver light of a big, bright moon
And I know that when you tried to change me
you were so damn sure it was the only thing to do
But you ain't as clever as you think you are
The fact is I miss your body more than I miss you
I can't be worried 'bout no wounded pride
'cause for just this once I gotta tell the truth

Just one thing before I walk away
Honey, you're one dead moon
And I don't expect that old silver light to come back soon
