Gargoyle Boy from Not Saved by Kurt Ringquist

I must be so tiresome,
But please put up with me.
My place is much higher
Than climbing a tree.

Think I'm going crazy
From hearing all them bells.
More than neurotic,
I can't hear so well.

Get off my parapet,
This seat is taken.
Those bells aren't a toy.
The city's mine
And I'm just fine,
Being a gargoyle boy.

They tried to burn the whole thing down,
I know that it's a sin
But the only way to kill this stone,
Is to kill it from within.

I got the best view here,
I see everything.
Sometimes when I'm all alone,
I start to sing.

Get off my parapet,
This seat is taken.
Those bells aren't a toy.
The city's mine
And I'm just fine,
Being a gargoyle boy.

I pretend to be crazy,
But nobody knows -
My heart's made of stone,
But I don't think it shows.

My eyes can see for miles,
And I can see you -
I know what you're thinking.
You know that it's true.

Get off my parapet,
This seat is taken,
Those bells aren't a toy.
The city's mine
And I'm just fine,
Being a gargoyle boy.

Get off my parapet,
This seat is taken.
Those bells aren't a toy.
The city's mine
And I'm just fine,
Being a gargoyle boy.
Being a gargoyle boy
I'm just a gargoyle boy.
