Tie Your Monster Down Songtext / Lyric

I'm gonna buy a house for everyone I love

And we'll all reside above the empty streets

And I'm gonna dig a grave for everyone I hate

When their lives get in my way



Won't you please give me something to calm my weary mind

Because I did not have the time to work it out






There are angels in my bedroom, they've been sleeping on my fan

They say, "Sweet Taylor, lift your eyes up and understand

That the world, it keeps on moving at an uncompromising pace

So keep the spring under your step and keep the sunlight on your face."



You've got to raise your voice sometimes to get things done

I'm not the monster here.

You've got to break some legs sometimes to get things done.

I'm not the monster here.



You've got to make time to break bones!

You're never gonna calm me down!



And if you want to put me away, you're gonna need a miracle.
