Truly Scary Monsters
Posted by Moonage | Filed under Interpretations
A couple of weeks ago I did a post on something that was strangely perfect. This post is not one of those. First, you have to watch the video. All of it.
Now, if you’ve made it this far. I have to wonder myself, what motivates a man to put on a wig, white body paint, a glittery tutu, and perform ballet. Which leads another to think “That belongs to Scary Monsters!”.
Well, after watching it a second time, I do see the Scary Monster angle. But, the discussion with Mrs. Moon over what motivates a man to do such odd things went really nowhere. First she suggested money, I don’t think anyone got paid to do this. Second, she mentioned love. Somehow I don’t think this is an expression of love either. May be, but I’m quite certain if I did this to Mrs. Moon, she wouldn’t feel the love. So, I’m still clueless. That’s probably a good thing.

But Nobody’s Home

Several years ago I spent some time with a gal who lived in a small town in the middle of nowhere. She had been a long distance track runner in high school, blue eyes, blonde hair, a knockout body, and of course, tons of energy and endurance. The perfect physical specimen of any female just out of high school and something all males would fantasize about. However, that fantasy babe fit Scary Monsters
She had an horror of rooms she was tired you can’t hide beat
When I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home
She could’ve been a killer if she didn’t walk the way she do, and she do
She opened strange doors that we’d never close againShe asked me to stay and I stole a room
She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind
Now she’s stupid in the street and she can’t socialize
Well I love the little girl and I’ll love her till the day she dies.
And of course it finishes with
…..keeps me running, running scared
And I did.
