Did you see the monster in paradise?
Oh boy, he was as cool as ice
You know it completely
We suffered defeat, we were long

Did you see the twenty-ton bomber fly?
Standing there and then up the sky
Get ready and grit your teeth
If you're standing underneath
Come on, you're gonna take it to an aeroplane
Look out, baby, here it comes again

Monster in paradise
Shut your mouth, close your eyes
And run, run, run, run

Did you see the dark army underground?
Looking for the old one we found
We won a dog who bit my knee
There lies the penalty for stealing

Did you see the man on the high trapeze?
Now we know how to die with ease
Looking up at the master
He was going much faster
Than the squirrel-faced lady on the high tight wire
Look out, baby, it's a devil fire
Monster in paradise
Shut your mouth, close your eyes
And run, run, run, run

Did you see the dark army underground?
Looking for the old one we found
We won a dog who bit my knee
There lies the penalty for stealing

Did you see the man on the high trapeze?
Now we know how to die with ease
Looking up at the master
He was going much faster
Than the squirrel-faced lady on the high tight wire
Look out, baby, it's a devil fire

Monster in paradise
Shut your mouth, close your eyes
And run, run, run, run
