Monster In The Parasol Lyrics

The walls are closing in again, oh well
The walls are closing in again, oh well
I seen some things I thought I never saw
Covered in hair (hair)

Paul’s dad is warped and bubbling, oh well
Paul’s dad is warped and bubbling, oh well
And my mind is up here on another wave
Covered in hair (hair)

She won’t grow

You’ve got a monster (distress) in your parasol (why, yes)
You’ve got a monster (divorce) in your parasol (of course)
You’ve got a monster (displeasure) in your parasol (my treasure)
You’ve got a monster (your pain) in your parasol (drives me insane)

Paul’s sister is an alien, oh well
Paul’s sister is an alien, oh well
I seen some things I thought I never saw
Covered in hair (hair)

She won’t grow

You’ve got a monster (distress) in your parasol (why, yes)
You’ve got a monster (divorce) in your parasol (of course)
You’ve got a monster (displeasure) in your parasol (my treasure)
You’ve got a hole (your pain) in you I never saw (drives me insane)
In your parasol, in your parasol (insane)

(Drives me insane)

I'll cut your pretty face

Paul’s dad is warped and bubbling, oh well
And my mind is up here on another wave
Covered in hair (hair)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

hm... so I was thinking that a parasol could be like the billowing dresses from the 18th century, and that the monster could be a vagina (covered in hair....) lol but I think that the song has to have more meaning than that. The video has a lady (but not really) walking around ordering people and in general just looking like she is the shit for some reason, so maybe the monster is that women have a certain command over people...? no thats stupid

Kick-ass song. He's clearly intoxicated. The song is, quite simply really, about a bad bad acid trip.
