Blues Traveler - Monster lyrics

[inaudible line]

Holding up last night

Tearing things apart

He giggles with delight

[something] temptation

[something] out tonight

You can work your incantation

With garlic at your door

Or hide until tomorrow

It hasn't worked before

When his love is known

It turns to stone

This creature goes out hunting

And feeling that he prowls

Makes a jungle cat afraid to pounce

The wolf afraid to howl

When the [?] becomes his victim

And prayer becomes his prey

Well that's his way

You can work your incantation

With garlic at your door

Or hide until tomorrow

It hasn't worked before

When his love is known

It turns to stone

He puts upon the canvas

Visions in his head

With a pressure razor-fine

He paints until I'm bled

When the moment's captured

By his artistic eye

He lets it die

You can work your incantation

With garlic at your door

Or hide until tomorrow

It hasn't worked before

When his love is known

It turns to stone

And he can't be lonely

Time comes away

He has my own identity

Or so he does say

Only once the fast have weakened

Since statue I was free

He let it be

The demon all but vanquished

He's finally rid of him

But still I couldn't touch you

And it frightened me no end

And when at last you'd come

The beast raged on

You can work your incantation

With garlic at your door

Or hide until tomorrow

It hasn't worked before

When his love is known

It turns to stone

And when his love is known...

It turns to stone
