Tim Booth - Monsters lyrics

He took a watch on a chain from a waistcoat pocket Unhooked the clasp Flipped open the lid Inside's a universe of constellations Said "What's the time Mr Rabbit?" He said, "It’s closing time" Won't be long we hit the low point on the high road If you do your sums Or the high point on the dirt road Then we'll soon be done I said Buddy tell me how does this work On this lamppost it read DOG It read AND It read EVE It read EVOL Backwards Old man, what do you see We're just bugs heading into a windscreen The constellations pulsed and glowed Reading the future in the guts of a cane toad The angle of stars when you're conceived The point of return written into your genes I conceive when I breathe There's monsters coming to get you Closing time Dreams come true We collude There's monsters coming to get you  Break down or breaking through DMTv Give me the Nembutol Banging at my door Banging at my door Stirring the witches brew Kicking off downstairs Stuck in a déjà vu Banging at my door Banging at my door He took a bleached white bone from his pocket (an inside pocket)

Mumbled a spell Sound like a song Petitioned his gods with prayer as if his life depended on it Said "What's the time Mr Rabbit?" He said, "There is no time" Used the bone to let some blood fall on the parched land Then he pa**ed it on He let my blood spill on the parched land I took up his song Sang "Buddy tell me how does this work?" With my blood He wrote, AND He wrote, EVE He wrote, DOG He wrote, EVOL Backwards Old man, what do you see? We're just bugs heading into a windscreen The constellations pulsed and glowed I saw the future in the guts of a cane toad The angle of stars when you're conceived The futures melting, melting like ice cream I conceive when I dream There's monsters coming to get you Closing time Dreams come true We collude There's monsters coming to get you Closing time (Break down or breaking through) Dreams come true (DMTv) We collude (Give me the Nembutol) Banging at my door Banging at my door Stirring the witches brew Kicking off downstairs Stuck in a déjà vu Banging at my door Banging at my door We murder the hero
