我是怪物的朋友
那就在我的床下
同时一个声音在我脑中叫嚣
你试图拯救我
不要再屏住呼吸
你觉得我疯了
是的，我的确是疯了（疯了）
我最求名望，但不想上《纽约周刊》的封面
喔，想想吧，乞丐是没什么可以挑挑拣拣的
想得到别人对我音乐的重视
想独自呆着却被公众打扰
想来块蛋糕，我同样需要
想左右逢源两者兼得
名望可能就像气球因我的自我而膨胀
当我把它吹漏气时那真是令人困惑
因为我所求的不过是像Bruce Lee（李小龙）那样书写下光辉灿烂的一页
泼墨吹气，成就一副写意之溪
彩票中奖了（哦耶）[hit the lottery中了彩票]
我放弃了些许只得了苦乐参半
就像是一场相聚的盛宴
如此讽刺因为我膨胀太过就要萎缩
我开始失眠开始数羊：一只，两只
像kool keith那样咕咕叫
但我实际上比你想的更怪异
因为我……
我是怪物的朋友
那就在我的床下
同时一个声音在我脑中叫嚣
你试图拯救我
不要再屏住呼吸
你觉得我疯了
是的，我的确是疯了
哦，那不公平
哦，那不公平
我称不上诗人
但我知道曾有人教我抓住机遇【seize the moment抓住机遇】
不要白白失去
因为你永远不知道它何时结束
所以我明天还会继续变着戏法
有时我会想这些想法是从何而来
哦，想想看吧，为何你难怪失去了理智，偏离了长成的思维模式
我知道你已迷失在远方，偶然发现了jeff vanvonderen[stumble upon偶然发现]
因为我需要一次访谈节目提供给我与怪物
拯救自己，远离纷争
因为我杀死自己的欲望是如此强烈难以阻挡
我的强迫症把我脑子撞得叮当直响[ocd强迫症Obsessive-compulsivedisorder]
继续敲门，家里没人，我在梦游
我仅仅传达着头脑中的声音
别枪杀信使，我仅仅是他的朋友……
我是怪物的朋友
那就在我的床下
同时一个声音在我脑中叫嚣
你试图拯救我
不要再屏住呼吸
你觉得我疯了
是的，我的确是疯了
哦，那不公平
哦，那不公平
叫我疯子，但我的脑海中有一副图景
有一天我会走在人群之间，就像普通人那样
但当鼓被敲破的时候，我会径直袭向emcees，鲜血溅出的瞬间让我回忆起我走在dre的小道上【take back回忆，袭击come at】
给每一个孩子手枪，他们将在手里把玩【gat手枪】
吸引着恶棍和渣滓回过来说
朝向那群玩手枪的孩子
我不可能在这里拯救这群孩子
但是在成千上万历尽挣扎的孩子中
如果有一个能感受到它的不凡奇妙，当重放开始时
虽然Russell wilson老早就不行了[way back老早就，很久以前]
但他仍能在草稿上化腐朽为神奇，从金色的木块中找出那根稻草
我要效法将侏儒怪藏进干草堆里【Rumpelstiltskin侏儒怪（德国民间故事中的侏儒状妖怪）】
也许我需要一件紧身衣【straightjacket紧身衣】
面对现实，那就是我是一个名副其实的疯子，但是我很好[for real 真正的]
因为那没有什么，我仍是那个的朋友……
我是怪物的朋友
那就在我的床下
同时一个声音在我脑中叫嚣
你试图拯救我
不要再屏住呼吸
你觉得我疯了
是的，我的确是疯了
我是怪物的朋友
那就在我的床下
同时一个声音在我脑中叫嚣
你试图拯救我
不要再屏住呼吸
你觉得我疯了
是的，我的确是疯了
哦，那不公平
I'm friends with the monster
That's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me
Stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy
Yeah, you think I'm crazy (crazy)
I wanted the fame, but not the cover on Newsweek
Oh well, guess beggers can't be choosey
Wanted to receive attention for my music
Wanted to be left alone, public excuse me
Been wanting my cake, I need it too
Wanting it both ways
Fame may be a balloon cause my ego inflated
When I blew seep but it was confusing
Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam
Hit the lottery (oh wee)
With what I gave up to get was bittersweet
It was like winning a huge meet
Ironic 'cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink
I'm beginning to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep
Going cucko and cuckier as Kool Keith
But I'm actually weirder than you think
Cause I'm…
I'm friends with the monster
That's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me
Stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy
Yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's not fair
Well, that's not fair
Now I ain't much of a poet
But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
And don't squander it
Cause you never know when it all could be over
Tomorrow so I keep conjuring
Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
(Yeah, ponder it, do you wonder there's no wonder you're losing your mind the way you're brought up
I think you've been wandering off down yonder and stumbled upon Jeff VanVonderen
Cause I needed an intervention in this to intervene between me and this monster
And save me from myself and all this conflict
Cause the very things that I love is killing me and I can't conquer it
My OCD is talking me in the head
Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking
I'm just relaying what the voice of my head saying
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the…
I'm friends with the monster
That's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me
Stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy
Yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's not fair
Well, that's not fair
Call me crazy, but I had this vision
One day that I'd walk amongst you regular civilians
But until then drums get killed I'm coming straight at
Emcees, blood get spilled and I
Take it back to the days that I get on a Dre track
Give every kid who got played gat
Pumped the villian and shi-t that say back
To the kids who played ‘em
I ain't here to save the f-ucking children
But if one kid out of a hundred million
Who are going through a struggle feels and relates that's great
It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back
In the draft, turn nothing into something, still can make that
Straw in the gold chump I will spend
Rumpelstiltskin in a hay stack
Maybe I need a straightjacket, face facts
I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
It's nothing, I'm still friends with a…
I'm friends with the monster
That's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me
Stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy
Yeah, you think I'm crazy
I'm friends with the monster
That's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me
Stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy
Yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's not fair
