Lyrics
Parents Monsters & God
In his infancy there were parents
And monsters and God
His parents were loud and kind
And they lifted him up, up up!
The monsters lived in his dreams
The bore down on him
As he tried to escape from the
Stirrups of his rocking horse
God, they said was everywhere
Or up in heaven or in your heart
God would smile or forgive
Or strike down his enemies one by one
He visits his parents now
Instructs them in medications
Stocks their refrigerator
Mops floors and brows
Monsters he sees now in museums
Accompanied by the sensation
Of a tiny hand squeezing his own
And a lifting up, up up!
And God is only now
A whisper in the ear of his son
Who wakes in the night, terrified
Asking questions about death
