This town is full of monsters
Holding hands with other monsters
And attempting to be human beings
Shuffling around the shops
And waving at balloons

This town is full of monsters
Sitting on park benches
Eating little packets of sultanas
Licking chocolate off their chubby little fingers

And I don’t even know why
It is they scare me
But they do
And the thing that really frightens me
Is that all my friends from school

Are turning into monsters
Picking patterns out for curtains
Making friends with all the other monsters
Pushing little baby monsters
Around the shops in prams

This town is full of monsters
Peeping out from under parked cars
In the multi-storey car park
Evil little eyes like fairy lights
Blinking in the dark

This town is full of monsters
Making out with other monsters
Picking sweet corn out of their teeth
Dipping pissy little fingers
In the pick ‘n’ mix

And I don’t even know why
It is it scares me
But it does
And the thing that really frightens me
Is that people I used to love

Are turning into monsters
Getting married having babies
Telling me how great their life is
And how happy I would be if I could
Just be more like them

I want to be a lilikoi, Boy Lilikoi
You grind your claws, you howl, you growl, unafraid of Hoi Polloi
You run, you’re free, you climb endless trees, you reignite
You growl, you howl, you show your teeth
You bite, it’s alright

You say no more, use your eyes, the world goes and flutters by
Use your eyes, you’ll know you are
Use your eyes, the world goes and flutters by
Use your eyes, you’ll know you are

Wild beam, wild boy, you burn so bright
You illuminate
One day you’re out, you give up the fight
You slow down heart-rate

We all grow old, use your life, the world goes and flutters by
Use your life, you’ll know you are
Use your life, the world goes and flutters by
Use your life, you’ll know you are

Electricity wires are down
Rainbow colours fading to brown
Adventurous smile shifting to frown
Courageous boy, now you’re a clown
Your antarctic hair, off with the crown
Your spirited friends, now a ghost town
You run…
You run…

I want to be a lilikoi boy - You
You grind your claws, you howl, you growl, unafraid of Hoi Polloi

Adventurous smile shifting to frown
Courageous boy, now you’re a clown
Your antarctic hair, off with the crown
Your spirited friends, now a ghost town
