Waking The Monster (This delicate thing we've made)
The professor is building Something extraordinary From the first signs Well I knew he would hide it from me Clang, clang, rattle, and buzz There's a helicopter blade And a bit of a truck
He's got no more quality time To be going on adventures Spending mornings on black keys Using the board Or finding him in places That have never been sorta brave Origami full of grace The professor is mad And he's working a feverish pace
Diabolical delicious things Something is bad And it's something within me
Do you know? Do you know? What is he building in there? Gotta know Gotta see What is he building in there? Gotta know Gotta be Something destructively daring Dastardly it's got the best of me
The professor is building All kinds of devilish device There's one part With a singular bit of light Bang, crash, glitter, and bug There's a phonographic needle And a stereo heart
He's got no plans to make an announcement No preliminary sketches Or advice to impart in me One ounce of jealousy Fifty-seven gallons juvenile delinquency
Super supremacy I've gotta find an answer Gotta fashion a skeleton key Diabolical delicious deeds Something's bad And it's shrouded of secrecy
Do you know? Do you know? What is he building in there? Gotta know Gotta see What is he building in there? Gotta know Gotta be Something destructively daring Dastardly it's got the best of me
(There are very few dimensions Three...which we call the three planes of space And a fourth Time)
The professor is building Something extraordinary Behind bars And a door he won't open for me Kind words and the barrel of a gun Will make him come to grips Make him face up to what he's done
Do you know? Do you know? What is he building in there? Gotta know Gotta see What is he building in there? Gotta know Gotta be Something destructively daring Dastardly it's got the best of me
Do you know? Do you know? What is he building in there? Gotta know Gotta see What is he building in there? Gotta know Gotta be Something destructively daring Dastardly it's got the best of me
