Monster Man

Jean, he was a nasty little monster man
With hairy feet and a diabolical plan to
Swallow all of your love

He lived alone upon his throne of helping hands
That had gotten bitten off when he was nice enough to try and
Hollow out all their guts

Blood-sucking little tick without a soul of his own
Yeah, Jean was an abominable creep down to the bone
Who never seemed to learn how to trust

His pupil pools would draw you in to take a swim
'Til it was too late to find that they're entirely made of ice, uh oh
He'll hold you down until you drown in your love

He'll be hiding up within the trees
If you're quiet enough you might hear his tease
He's gonna tie you up by the wrists
Not to say that you wouldn't like it, oh no
'Cause what you see behind his eyelids
Is so cruelly hypnotising
Ooh

Jean was a pathetic greedy monster man
With a unibrow and a will to devour and
Swallow all of your love

His scrawny little froggy legs and twisting tongue
Would remind you of a certain fairytale amphibian
Who made you writhe and moan when he got you off

A hunchbacked, ugly, knuckle-dragging, fuzzy-nippled, tricksy little fool with a knack for
Causing far more bother than a blizzard in the summer
'Cause he'll leave you freezing in the snow when he's done

The love he feeds on with his wonky teeth
Comes from infatuation born from a deity-less nation, you know?
'Cause it's hard to be alone with your love

He'll be hiding up within the trees
If you're quiet enough you might hear his tease
He's gonna tie you up by the wrists
Not to say that you wouldn't like it, oh no
'Cause what you see behind his eyelids
Is so cruelly hypnotising
Ooh

One day a branch broke under his hairy feet
He went tumbling down, down, down, down, down, down
He broke his arms and all of his wonky teeth
All he could do was wait to be found down and out on the ground
'Til he was woken by the sound of her innocent voice
He tried with all his monster might to open his eyelids
Intoxicated by her scent he thought that he had been poisoned
He soon came to find he'd suffered retinal damage

She took him in and cleaned him up
Like an angel from above
She put his arms in slings and cut
All his dirty monster fur
But he couldn't get enough
Of the feeling in his gut
So when his eyes were no longer shut
He hypnotised her

In a cave upon a mountain in a far away land
Is where you're most likely to find him to be currently residing
Where he can hide away all of his love
