Lyrics for Monsters In The Parasol as interpreted by OwnPersonalDemon

Monsters In The Parasol Lyrics
The walls are closing in again, oh well
The walls are closing in again, oh well
I seen some thing I thought I never saw
Covered in hair
Paul's dad is warped and bubbling, oh well
Paul's dad is warped and bubbling, oh well
And my mind is out here on another wave
Covered in hair

She won't grow

[chorus:]
You've got a monster (distress) in your parasol (body out??)
You've got a monster (dwarves, doors?) in your parasol (of course)
You've got a monster (displeasure) in your parasol (I told you??)
You've got a monster (?) in your parasol (xnay?)
Paul's sister is an alien, oh well

Paul's sister is an alien, oh well
I seen some things I thought I never saw
Covered in hair

She won't grow

You've got a monster (distress, my pest?) in your parasol
You've got a monster (drawves) in your parasol (war horse)
You've got a monster (displeasure) in your parasol (?)
You've got a hole in you I never saw (??)
In your parasol, in your parasol

i wasnt a dick about it if tht's what you're insinuating. just josh fucks around a lot, he has a good sense of humour. im just saying you shouldnt post what he says as the bare facts. that's the kind of shit that people might believe if they're new to the band. ever since the days of kyuss, the guys have joked around with the media, and made jokes onstage. for instance, josh told a radio DJ last week that QOTSA would be swapping with the Foo Fighters at the V festival and playing each others' songs. clearly that's not going to happen. see? a JOKE - sarcasm

i havent said that it may not be a serious comment made by josh. but it certainly isnt the whole story is it? so im glad you posted it because it's funny (ok, or true) but you have to see it may not be true, and therefore not think im attacking you or something

My favorite song from R. Very obvious meaning (tripping on drugs). Every thing about this song is awsome.

Can you imagine seeing some of those things on LSD though? Seeing some guy's dad bubbling and looking warped. And thinking his sister's an alien. And seeing a monster in a parasol. And thinking your mind is hairy.

correct chorus lyrics:

You’ve got a monster (distress)
In your parasol (why, yes)
You’ve got a monster (divorce)
In your parasol (of course)
You’ve got a monster (displeasure)
In your parasol (my treasure)
You’ve got a monster (your pain)
In your parasol (drives me insane)

and the last line is In your parasol, in your parasol (insane)

words in brackets are whispered

my bad... the last chorus has a few differences. the last 3 lines are different :p

You’ve got a monster (distress)
In your parasol (why, yes)
You’ve got a monster (divorce)
In your parasol (of course)
You’ve got a monster (displeasure)
In your parasol (my treasure)
You’ve got a hole (your pain)
In you I never saw (drives me insane)
In your parasol, in your parasol (insane)

This song is sweet. However, I think the live version is better than the album version because the fast speed suits it better.

"Hey! Security, security...I just wanna say that we're all here to have a good time, and dance, and drink, and fuck. So...make sure you'll be good to the kids...alright? When they come over the top, be good to the kids. 'Cause it's a fucking...it's a party, no? All the way in the back, it's a party, right? All the way in the fucking front, you know it's a party, right. And because it's a party, this song is about LSD."

This song kicks so much ass. Whenever I start making movies this is gonna end up on a soundtrack. I love the heavy-trip like feel the guitars give. Muy bien.
