I just don't know what it was,
and I don't know whence it came.
All albatross fighting like a buzz saw and calling my name
I just don't know what it was,
and I don't know when it came.
An albatross fighting like a buzz saw and calling my name

And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown

I don't know why I was scared; I've got the power of speech.
And all the threats and the violence in the world
couldn't make me impeach
I don't know why I was scared; I've got the power of speech
And all the threats and violence in the world couldn't make me impeach

And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown

And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown

Efface, efface, efface, efface

And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
And we were waiting on the back foot,
waiting on the back foot, waiting for the monster to drown
