lyrics

Feeling less like Frankenstein’s monster
And more like a bolt of lightning
After a cup of that morning mud
Everything gets a little more exciting

The lines that you thought drew daggers
Your disdain is my strength now
That you still laugh is proof enough
Confusing you is a full time job

I’m getting stronger and I’m getting stronger
Who knows just how strong I’ll get
Now that I hold the dodgeball caught
And we are both covered in sweat

Feeling half like Frankenstein’s monster
And half like the bolt of lightning
That surged through his crown before he was run out of town
Before everything got a little frightening

You hold your body like a police car
You see your hands as two sheriffs
Enforcing laws, you hear your papa’s applause
You feel like this whole bloated town is yours

You reminisce about the good old days
Back before personal computers went mad
When boys were men, and the girls were also there back then
Your mother was alive, and so was your dad

Feeling half like Frankenstein’s monster
And half like a bolt of lightning
After a cup of that morning mud
Everything gets a little more exciting
