Waiting for the Monster to Drown Lyrics

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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
