Monument lyrics
by BAMBARA
[verse 1]
I’ve seen you before
In a wet dream or a vision
You were knocking on my door
Looking for something you were missing
You know exactly who I am
I own this stretch of barren land
This painting on a motel wall
This problem that we’re gonna solve
See if you help me, well
I can give you anything
I’ll give you anything
I’ll give you anything
[Chorus]
I know it’s freedom you desire
But you reek of religion
Maybe it’s that church that caught on fire
Where all you punk kids are livin’
[verse 2]
These boring monuments
All shining and white
In honor of boring men
Like those poor bast*rds from the mine
Let’s make something huge and full of rust
Rebar ‘round my handsome bust
Broken glass like jagged flowers
Climbing up a twisting tower
Yeah, I want to see its shadow on everything
Shadow on everything
Shadow on everything
[Chorus]
We’ll slip dynamite in the suits
Of the people in the museum
Or we could wall them all inside (huh)
And turn it into a mausoleum
[outro]
I’ll come find you in the night
You know, I can see perfectly in the dark
It's just when the sun hits
I can't see anything
I can't see anything
It's just when the sun hits
I can't see anything
Yeah, I can't see anything
When the sun hits
I can see perfectly in the dark (I can see perfectly in the dark)
When the sun hits
I can't see anything
When the sun hits
I can't see anything
I can't see anything (Yeah, it's just when the sun hits)
