king margo - monsters lyrics

[verse 1]
she never boarded up the windows
grandma likes to say
she rode out every storm
fryin’ chicken just the same
now dallas brings the lumber
puts new holes in the frame
he fever fills in the old ones
calls his mama up in maine
it’s lookin’ bad again
it’s what the tv people say
oh, the water’s so much warmer now
but it always looks the same
[verse 2]
lappin’ at the train tracks
basin thirty miles wide
while the sun slips behind
like fire in the sky
and it’s rainbows in your front yard
and it’s sirеns going wild
oh, it’s always been like this
don’t go soft on us, child

[chorus]
and the waters risе
rollin’ in the dark
the rain keepin’ time
beatin’ like your heart
but you sing anyway
while the banjos, they clawhammer their old drinkin’ songs
and the monsters outside
oh, they howl along

[verse 3]
trina worries from new york
about her brother and their friends
they’re still sittin’ in magnolias
they’re still listenin’ to the wind
she found a place in buffalo
big wide rooms to sleep them all
half of what she pays in brooklyn
between the highway and the mall
but her grandma and her brother
oh, they’re stubborn as they come
they say go get on the subway
go and have a little fun
and forget about the troubles
that the bayou sings alone
you made it far north enough
you don’t need to come back home
[chorus]
and the waters rise
rollin’ in the dark
the rain keepin’ time
beatin’ like your heart
but you sing anyway
while the banjos, they clawhammer their old drinkin’ songs
and the monsters outside
oh, they howl along
