about

After years of including it in our Halloween stage shows, we finally get to record this new standard from the macabre Ira Marlowe. A long time favourite from both sides of the stage, with guest piano pounding from Cole!

Com, and trip it as ye go,
On the light fantastick toe – Milton (not the Monster)

lyrics

Do the Monster
© Ira Marlowe, Slow Reveal Music, BMI. All Rights Reserved

Trippin’ the light fantastic, elegant and elastic
Here you are, come so far, but it seems you’ve lost your way
Looking to find a sure way, suddenly there’s a doorway
Open wide, step inside, you’ll discover why you came
When you dance into a trance you'll know you've made it
Raise your arms, see what you've created
Do the monster

Shadowy nights and thunder, suddenly makes you wonder
Who you are, what you are is not as clear as it might seem
Suddenly something takes you, trick of the night that makes you
Lose control, scare your soul, feel the future start to change
You can dance as if your life depends upon it
Raise your arms, put it where you want it
Do the monster

'Cause a monster gets what a monster wants, and I want you
Yes, a monster gets what a monster wants, and I want you
I want you…

You've become the one you used to be afraid of
Raise your arms, show 'em what you're made of
Do the monster
