Waking the Monster

The professor is building

Something extraordinary

From the first signs

Well I knew he would hide it from me

Clang clang rattle and buzz

There's a helicopter blade

And a bit of a truck

He's got no more quality time

To be going on adventures

Spending mornings on black keys

Using a Ouija board

Or finding hidden places

That have never been sought I pray

Origami full of grace

The professor is mad

And he's working a feverish pace

Diabolical delicious things

Something is bad

And it's something within me

Do you know?

Do you know?

What is he building in there?

Gotta know-

Gotta see-

What is he building in there?

Gotta know-

Gotta be-

Something destructively daring-

Disastardly- it's got the best of me

The professor is building

All kinds of devilish devices

There's one part

With a singular bit of enlightment

Bang crash glitter and bug

There's a phonographic needle

And a stereo heart

He's got no plans to make an announcement-

No preliminary sketches

Or advice to impart to me

One ounce of jealousy

Fifty-seven gallons juvenile delinquency

Super supremacy-

I've got to find an answer

Got to fashion a skeleton key

Diabolical delicious deeds-

Something is bad

And it's shrouded of secrecy

Do you know?

Do you know?

What is he building in there?

Gotta know-

Gotta see-

What is he building in there?

Gotta know-

Gotta be-

Something destructively daring-

Disastardly- it's got the best of me

(There are really four dimensions

Three-

Which we call the three planes of space

And a fourth-

Time)

The professor is building

Something extraordinary

Behind bars

And a door he won't open for me

Kind words and the barrel of a gun

Will make him come to grips-

Make him face up to what he's done

Do you know?

Do you know?

What is he building in there?

Gotta know-

Gotta see-

What is he building in there?

Gotta know-

Gotta be-

Something destructively daring-

Disastardly- it's got the best of me

Do you know?

Do you know?

What is he building in there?

Gotta know-

Gotta see-

What is he building in there?

Gotta know-

Gotta be-

Something destructively daring-

Disastardly- it's got the best of me
