The Male Monster from the Id - The Chills

there’s a part of me that’s in disguise

though I fight to see it won’t arise

i’d avoid your eyes, denying

something dark and primal surviving

i have another side i try to hide

it cannot escape because if it tries

there are defences raised around it

for i chose to keep it surrounded

chorus

got to stay on guard always, want to keep my caveman hidden

everyone has some off days when we make bad decisions

each man i’ve seen has some animal behaviour in him

some can conceal better the male monster from the id

got out, destroyed his cage

saying thoughtless things with mindless rage

and i’ve seen him harm those i’m close to

with his charms he’s so hard to see through

chorus

i hurt you

i’m sorry

and i promise i wont do it again

and i’m mending all my errors

i really am

but my Mr Hyde he lies and lies

it’d take a Superman to supervise

but imagine all the damage

if the hidden man that took lives (?)

in Forbidden Planet survives

i’m not like that every day

i’m not normally that way

you need convincing i can tell

i don’t say this very well

i’m sorry

i hurt you

and i promise i wont do it again

i’m mending all my errors

i really am

the male monster from the id

the male monster from the id

the male monster from the id

the male monster from the id
