The Food

I got a monster or two in my room
Coming in and out like a boomerang
Exploding - ACME TNT
Road Runner runnin circles around my Coyote
Got me caught up in my own mind
When all I wanna do is get in line
To get my slice of that pie
Some home cookin', some food for the soul
Instead of all that Christmas coal
Givin it & givin it & givin it good
Til the sun come up and that pool
That pool of light broke my face
A monster wakes to start the day
Another sleeps to keep me at bay
I walk with a monster on my back
Like Quasimodo, I search for that tower
Only there ain't no Esmereldas
There ain't no love for the freak & geek
Who wishes upon a star
Thinkin' he can be just like a star
But monsters don't like that
Too heavy, too much
Get you lost in the woods
When your mind's hungry for the food
Fire, fire - I see you right there
My delusions are illusions of grandeur
So I'll shed this monster off me
The one sleeping, I'll stab just one eye
So he can look at me one more time
Takin off in my rocket-powered shoes
It ain't right, I know it's all rude
But stars don't shine for you
I shine for me so I can shine for good
You my monster, my mistake, my misunderstanding
Stars don't shine for you
I shine for me so I can shine for good
