Don't call me Gaga
I've never seen one like that before
Don't look at me like that
You amaze me

He ate my heart, he a-a-ate my heart (you little monster)
He ate my heart, he a-a-ate my heart out (you amaze me)
Ate my heart, he a-a-ate my heart
He ate my heart, he a-a-ate my heart (big boy)

Look at him, look at me
That boy is bad and honestly
He's a wolf in disguise
But I can't stop staring in those evil eyes

I asked my girlfriend if she'd seen you 'round before (oh yeah)
She mumbled something while we got down on the floor, baby
We might've fucked, not really sure, don't quite recall (oh yeah)
But something tells me that I've seen him, yeah

That boy is a monster (mo-mo-mo-monster) (could I love him?)
That boy is a monster (mo-mo-mo-monster) (could I love him?)
That boy is a monster (mo-mo-mo-monster) (could I love him?)
That boy is a monster-er-er-er-er

He ate my heart (I love that girl)
He ate my heart (I love that girl, she's hot as hell)
He ate my heart (I love that girl)
He ate my heart (wanna talk to her, she's hot as hell)

He licked his lips, said to me
"Girl you look good enough to eat"
Put his arms around me
Said, "Boy, now get your paws right off me"

I asked my girlfriend if she'd seen you 'round before (oh yeah)
She mumbled something while we got down on the floor, baby
We might've fucked, not really sure, don't quite recall (oh yeah)
But something tells me that I've seen him, yeah

That boy is a monster (mo-mo-mo-monster)
That boy is a monster (mo-mo-mo-monster)
That boy is a monster (mo-mo-mo-monster)
That boy is a monster-er-er-er-er

He ate my heart (I love that girl)
He ate my heart (wanna talk to her, she's hot as hell)
He ate my heart (I love that girl)
He ate my heart (wanna talk to her, she's hot as hell)

He ate my heart, he ate my heart, instead he's a monster in my bed
He ate my heart, he ate my heart, instead he's a monster in my bed

I wanna just dance, but he took me home instead
Uh-oh, there was a monster in my bed
We french kissed on a subway train
He tore my clothes right off
He ate my heart and then he ate my brain
Uh-oh, uh-oh (I love that girl)
(Wanna talk to her, she's hot as hell)

He ate my heart (uh-oh)
He a-a-ate my heart (uh-oh-oh, oh)
He ate my heart (wanna talk to her, she's hot as hell)
(That bo-, that bo-, that bo-, that bo-, that bo-, that boy)

That boy is a monster (mo-mo-mo-monster) (could I love him?)
That boy is a monster (mo-mo-mo-monster) (could I love him?)
That boy is a monster (mo-mo-mo-monster) (could I love him?)
That boy is a monster-er-er-er-er

That boy is a monster (mo-mo-mo-monster) (could I love him?)
That boy is a monster (mo-mo-mo-monster) (could I love him?)
That boy is a monster (mo-mo-mo-monster) (could I love him?)
That boy is a monster-er-er-er-er

    I've thought about that too! "He licked his lips, looked at me, said 'girl, you look good enough to eat'". Then later, "he was a monster in my bed...tore my clothes right off, he ate my heart and then he ate my brain!" At the same time, though, I don't think that this is the ONLY meaning to the song. I think that it also has a deep meaning relating to fear of relationships and the pain of love.

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
