Monument - Bambara

I’ve seen you before

In a wet dream or a vision

You were knocking on my door

Looking for something you were missing

You know exactly who I am

I own this stretch of barren land

This painting on a motel wall

This problem that we’re gonna solve

See if you help me, well

I can give you anything

I’ll give you anything

I’ll give you anything

I know it’s freedom you desire

But you reek of religion

Maybe it’s that church that caught on fire

Where all you punk kids are livin'

These boring monuments

All shining and white

In honor of boring men

Like those poor bastards from the mine

Let’s make something huge and full of rust

Rebar ‘round my handsome bust

Broken glass like jagged flowers

Climbing up a twisting tower

Yeah, I want to see its shadow on everything

Shadow on everything

Shadow on everything

We’ll slip dynamite in the suits

Of the people in the museum

Or we could wall them all inside (huh)

And turn it into a mausoleum

I’ll come find you in the night

You know, I can see perfectly in the dark

It’s just when the sun hits

I can’t see anything

I can’t see anything

It’s just when the sun hits

I can’t see anything

Yeah, I can’t see anything

When the sun hits

I can see perfectly in the dark (I can see perfectly in the dark)

When the sun hits

I can’t see anything

When the sun hits

I can’t see anything

I can’t see anything (Yeah, it’s just when the sun hits)
