Building A Monster

The roaring from the distance broke the chandelier
The smell of burning garbage fills the atmosphere
The ground is trembling out near Neverland
As the wind blows that balloon right from your hand
And we're left here asking questions to our phones
Building a monster bone by bone
We're slicing up a cut of one more sacred cow
Moby Dick is swimming in the bathtub now
Felt it's fins it gave me palpitations
We're powerless before our own creation

This harpoon's always ready to be thrown
Building a monster bone by bone
A shadow's hanging off the side of our skyscraper
Our shadow's down at Costco buying toilet paper
He's there on line our darling Frankenstein
Carting round with stuff like yours and mine
If you didn't know you'd think he was our clone
Building a monster bone by bone
My voice breaks when I finally find the truth to say
The hairs are getting longer on my neck each day

I see a gang of rats and just think dinner
Who is this dude that's smiling in the mirror?
I'm hoping that my cover won't be blown
Building a monster
