Eating a book

There is a monster in my room
we discuss movies over coffee
And I think it's quite absurd

He got hungry, licked his lips, he shook my hand, and tried to eat me.
And it's getting on my nerves.

Don't you think it's strange that I've been reading,
and I still don't know how to kill you
I'm trying hard not to meet you when I am sleeping,
and still I don't know how to kill you

I've got tickets to a show that I know no one will be attending
And think that you should go
I don't mind your complexion or the fact you are bleeding
It's just the way that it goes

Don't you think it's strange that I've been reading
and I still don't know how to kill you
I'm trying hard not to meet you when I am sleeping,
but still I don't know how to kill you

I don't mind the shape your head is in
I've just got to watch you explode

--He Is Legend

pensive

And this is what you can't explain
A need to take a long long trip on a train
And this is what you cannot say
I want to take a long long trip far away

I can't even talk
Just kick in the rock
I already know what we're going to play

I just want to take the flight
I need a drummer and I need one tonight
And this is what you cannot say
I want to take a long long trip far away

I can't even talk
Just kick in the rock
I already know what we're going to play

-- "can you play drums?"
