[Intro] (Audio: heavy iron chains rattling, distant spooky ghost wails, wind howling) [Verse 1] Herman was a monster, that's what everybody said Herman was smiling the words went to his head Everybody pointed, as he just gave a wave Herman was a monster who lived in a cave [Verse 2] Lily was a lady, only came out at night She didn't mean it, when they got a fright Everybody chased her, chased her away She thought what a game, I'll come back again some day [Verse 3] Eddie was just a child, didn't look like you or me But his little heart beat no differently Eddie was howling, howling at the moon I hope his innocence doesn't fade too soon [Verse 4] Marilyn spent her days hearing whispers in the dark "Oh she's ugly" they'd say Just because she's different, sometimes that's just the way [Chorus] Oh let them stare, let them whisper too You've found each other, the way that lovers do The greatest monster story, that's ever been told Let your next chapters start to unfold [Bridge] (Stripped back, acoustic guitar only) Herman... Lily... Eddie... And little Marilyn, too. [Outro] (Building intensity, cheerful and theatrical) Being a monster looks pretty good on you! Pretty good on you!! (Audio: single spooky ghost laugh, chain rattle fade out)
