Monsters In The Parasol
Queens Of The Stone Age · Rated R [2000]
The walls are closing in again, oh well
I seen some things I thought I never saw
Covered in hair
Paul's dad is warped and bubbling, oh well
Paul's dad is warped and bubbling, oh well
And my mind is out here on another wave
Covered in hair
She won't grow, she won't grow
She won't grow, she won't grow
She won't grow, she won't grow, she won't grow
You've got a monster
(Distress)
In your parasol
(Why yes)
You've got a monster
(Divorce)
In your parasol
(Of course)
You've got a monster
(Displeasure)
In your parasol
(My treasure)
You've got a monster
(Your pain)
In your parasol
(Drives me insane)
Paul's sister is an alien, oh well
Paul's sister is an alien, oh well
I seen some things I thought I never saw
Covered in hair
She won't grow, she won't grow
She won't grow, she won't grow
She won't grow, she won't grow, she won't grow
You've got a monster
(Distress)
In your parasol
(Why yes)
You've got a monster
(Divorce)
In your parasol
(Of course)
You've got a monster
(Displeasure)
In your parasol
(My treasure)
You've got a hole in you I never saw
(Your pain)
In your parasol
(Drives me insane)
In your parasol, in your parasol, in your parasol
