Monsters And Angels Lyrics
I'm nobodys' wife & I'm nobodys' baby,
I like it that way well then again maybe.
I'm nobodys' valentine & I'm nobodys' pearl
seem to always find some girl singin'
There are monsters, there are angels,
there's a peaceful and a rage inside us all.
There's sugar & there is salt
there's ice and there is fire in every single heart.
There are monsters. There are angels.
I'm nobodys promise and I'm nobodys chore
and I ain't got nobody that I feel I gotta
live for - nobody to live for.
I'm nobodys work & I'm nobodys' company
and every time I turn around I always seem to
find just me singin'
There are monsters, there are angels.
I'm nobodys' wife, I'm nobodys' baby,
There are monsters, there are angels,
There are monsters, there are angels,
I'm nobodys' mother, I'm nobodys' child.
I like it that way well then again maybe.
I'm nobodys' valentine & I'm nobodys' pearl
seem to always find some girl singin'
there's a peaceful and a rage inside us all.
There's sugar & there is salt
there's ice and there is fire in every single heart.
There are monsters. There are angels.
and I ain't got nobody that I feel I gotta
live for - nobody to live for.
I'm nobodys work & I'm nobodys' company
and every time I turn around I always seem to
find just me singin'
There are monsters, there are angels,
There are monsters, there are angels,
I'm nobodys' mother, I'm nobodys' child.

A little chintzy, lyrically, but it's about conflicts in all of us. Kind of pounding you about the head with it, especially with the chorus. But what I really want to know is what's the painting they reenact in the beginning of the video? It's this ridiculously famous one and I can't think of it.

Nighthawks by Edward Hopper is the painting brought to life at the beginning of the video. As for the song - it's another great "bubblegum song written in blood" from VOTB.

nice!
