lyrics

MONSTER IN THE ROOM (by Scott Mickelson)

Green teeth, bad breathe, one eye and that one's blind
Black nails, spiked tails when all else fails
Blame it on the Monster In The Room
Big roar, loud snore, I've heard that sound before
Unchained, untamed we both play the same game
Waiting for the monster in the room.

There's a hundred dark nights awaiting me
Switch on the bedroom lamp so I can see
It's time to find some friendlier company

Beware, don't stare, never let it smell your fear
Don't tremble it might hear, walk away disappear
Cause your waiting for the monster in the room.

Well it gave me the chills but not the good kind
Told my favorite joke, forgot the punch line
Turn down all the blinds can't let the neighbors see

No brain, no pain shoot it down it'll just get up again
And in the end was it worth the price of admission
Waiting for the monster in the room
