hmmm it starts out sweetly, and then...
It’s a good day to be normal
It’s a good day to fit in
And I’m following the signs
And I try to keep my distance
I am aware of the danger
When I lean against the door
And I’m mindful of the gap
Between the platform and the track
Who are you calling a monster?
Just who are you calling a monster?
In the office where I work
No one pays me any heed
I don’t complain
At the agents and their greed
They see me as a piece of meat
To be abandoned on the street after
Works night out
But I’ll get the last laugh in
As they’re wallowing in sin
And I will not go down to the cellar again
Although I hear it call my name
My blades are sharp and they’re itching to cut
There’s a gnawing feeling there in my gut
Perhaps I’ll go down to the cellar again
This indecision is going to drive me insane
And I’m mindful of the gap
Between reality and fact
Who are you calling a monster?
Who are you calling a monster?
It’s a good day to be normal
It’s what I’m trying to be
So you won’t notice me

Jaunty, jangly murderpop - surely the new hit genre!

I like how the breezy delivery and poppy guitar strumming belie the menace of the words. Great title and concept.
