Sweet monster of mine

Don't listen to a word that I say
The screams all sound the same
Though the truth may vary, this
Ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore

But you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it

Clock strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
(I said "beat it")
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away

There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well, tell her that I miss our little talks
And some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear

Don't listen to a word that I say
The screams all sound the same
Though the truth may vary, this
Ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore

Shine your light
(I said "beat it")
Shine your light
(I said "beat it")
Shine your light
And when I lose myself I'll think of you

Don't listen to a word that I say
The screams all sound the same
Though the truth may vary, this
Ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore

But dad, this is the best part

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
It takes me away to that special place
And if I stare too long
I'll probably break down and cry

Oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine

Don't listen to a word that I say
The screams all sound the same
Though the truth may vary, this
Ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore

Shine your light
(I said "beat it")
Shine your light
(I said "beat it")
Shine your light
And when I lose myself I'll think of you

Don't listen to a word that I say
The screams all sound the same
Though the truth may vary, this
Ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore

Shine your light
(I said "beat it")
Shine your light
(I said "beat it")
Shine your light
And when I lose myself I'll think of you

Shine your light
("Beat it")
Shine your light
("Beat it")
Shine your light
And when I lose myself I'll think of you

That was perfect
