Capital Cities - The Monster In My Closet Lyrics

As long as I can remember
The monster in my closet
Would only come out when I fell asleep
Oh, so deep it would creep
Was it just in my head?
I would dread when mama said
"Time for bed"
Was it up to no good or just misunderstood?

I said, "That's not nice"
I said, "I'm gonna kick his ass"
I'm gonna kick his ass
(That's not nice)

I said, "That's not nice"
I said, "I'm gonna kick his ass"
I'm gonna kick his ass
(That's not nice)

Fire in the back seat
Fire in the front seat
Chalk it up to bad luck
We ride together
We die together

Fire in the back seat
Fire in the front seat
Chalk it up to bad luck
We ride together
We die together

Is he gonna come in here?
Is he gonna come in here?
Is he gonna come in here?
Is he gonna come in here?
He's gonna kick my ask

I said, "That's not nice"
I said, "I'm gonna kick his ass"
I'm gonna kick his ass (come out, come out)
(That's not nice)

I said, "That's not nice"
I said, "I'm gonna kick his ass"
I'm gonna kick his ass (come out, come out)
(Oh, okay)

Turns out it was my only friend
It stuck with me until the very end
Don't break just bend
And now we're stardust
Each other we trust
Visiting other galaxies
To create new lands and seas

Fire in the back seat
Fire in the front seat
Chalk it up to bad luck
We ride together
We die together

Fire in the back seat
Fire in the front seat
Chalk it up to bad luck
We ride together
We die together
