The Monster Is Me

She takes a taxi to the shore Leaves her lover there in bed She can't handle any more So she'll make love to brass and lead She pulled the hammer back Won't you take me away From the powers that be And the thought of the day Because the monster is me All the choices that she made Were they really right or wrong Either way she'll still be paid But money doesn't last that long She pulled the hammer back Won't you take me away From the powers that be And the thought of the day Because the monster is me She lays the pistol on the seat The barrel's frigid to the touch How can she accept defeat When hollow points cost way too much To pull the hammer back Won't you take me away From the powers that be And the thought of the day Because the monster is me The monster is me
