  1. Monsters

Lyrics

INTRO (acapella) & VERSE 1
There are monsters in the moonlight
They’ve got mud beneath their nails
They’ve been crawling up the cold banks
Of this river that you sail
Now they’re killing all the townsfolk
Taking them out one by one
The only way to stop them
Is to look straight at the sun

CHORUS
Oh, you’re running hard
Yeah you’re trying to outrun the wind
But the answer is here and the coast is clear
And you’re never going back again

VERSE 2
There are strangers in the alley
Come to show you who you are
Screaming in another language
Painting poetry on cars
They beat mallets on your eardrums
While you’re shackled to deceit
Say ‘now look inside your pocket
all along you’ve had the key’

CHORUS (tag last line once)

INST/SOLO

VERSE 3
There are angels in the desert
Playing a game of hide and seek
All you’ve got to do to find them
Is to wake up from your sleep
They move quietly around you
Dusting cobwebs off your eyes
Fold origami out of memories
Til there’s nothing left but sky

CHORUS x 2
OUTRO
There are monsters in the moonlight
They’ve got mud beneath their nails
