The Momur
Adrian Belew · Desire Of The Rhino King [1991]
I was speaking with my wife
When she turned into a momur
Tried to put me uptight
I said "you don't scare me"
Then she let out a scream
That's when my heart started jumpin'
Like a broken t.v.
She was a momur and it was just like I told ya'
She said "you better watch out, I might bite a big hole in ya'"
The very next morning
I was watching cartoons
When I thought I saw a momur
It was you know who
Well, she backed me in a corner
Tried to kill me with a broom
And shouted personal remarks
From across the living room
She was a momur and it was just like I told ya'
She said "you better watch out, I might bite a big hole in ya'"
Late last night
I was speaking with my wife again
When she turned into a momur again
Tried to put me uptight again
She took me favorite guitar
And she smashed it on the floor
When she danced around on top of it,
I thought I might get sore
She was momur
