A Monster A Tempest by Native Wildlife Lyrics
She slid off her ring and laid it gently on the table, then turned to whisper in my ear
She said, “Kiss me quickly, dear. Lest conscious catch up to me.”
I took a breath, began to protest…
But how could I refuse, with her lips on my neck, her dress on the bedside?
She had a husband, a home, and a family, but I’m a selfish and uncaring man
Oh, I’m just a man
Then he came to me, carrying nothing but his passion and crawling on his knees
But still I would not speak, ‘til he summoned all his strength and he rose to his feet
He turned, locked eyes with me, and said:
“You’re more a monster than a man
And I will do to you what you did to my household.”
I stood unmoved like the side of a mountain
But what are mere rock and stone against such a storm? I spoke
She said, “Kiss me quickly, dear. Lest conscious catch up to me.”
I took a breath, began to protest…
But how could I refuse, with her lips on my neck, her dress on the bedside?
She had a husband, a home, and a family, but I’m a selfish and uncaring man
Oh, I’m just a man
Then he came to me, carrying nothing but his passion and crawling on his knees
But still I would not speak, ‘til he summoned all his strength and he rose to his feet
He turned, locked eyes with me, and said:
“You’re more a monster than a man
And I will do to you what you did to my household.”
I stood unmoved like the side of a mountain
But what are mere rock and stone against such a storm? I spoke
