Daniel Johnston
The Monster Inside Me
[Verse 1]
Every time you look at me
You see the monster in my eye
If you could only help me girl
We could be in paradise

[Chorus 1]
Be happy every after
And there would be no more tears
Eternal peace is what I'm after
Maybe girl, you could help me understand
The monster inside of me

[Verse 2]
You know that I want you
You can see that I need you
But you hate the monster
Well honey, I do too

[Chorus 2]
I need your love to carry me
Out of the darkness of the pit
You know I feel just like shit
Maybe girl, you could help me fight
The monster inside of me
[Verse 3]
Maybe if someone had said to Vincent van Gogh
"Keep punching, Joe!"
Maybe he'd be here today
Maybe he'd be here today

[Chorus 3]
You inspire the strength within
And I can be conqueror
As my spirit rise above us
Maybe girl, you could help me destroy
The monster inside of me

[Outro]
And we could be happy
And we could be happy
And we could be happy
And we could be happy
