The Beast |
| Where did our love go |
| You will never know |
| How did you get home |
| You will never know |
| Did you catch yourself in the mirror? |
| It’s a sight I understand |
| You considered it all for a second |
| And put it down to slight of hand |
| You know I’ve been running 'round for hours |
| Calling my egyptian blood to bear me flowers |
| Calling sophia, goddess of power |
| Instead I got the beast |
| And tonight he lies with me |
| Tonight he lies with me |
| Tonight he lies with me |
| And here comes to beast |
| You’re okay now, I suppose |
| You’re not pulled by the rope |
| I’m pulled by the pull on my throat |
| I’m pulled by the rope |
| I swing from the trees into the slope |
| Hold my head high, just by the tip of my toes |
| And he lies, he lies so sweet that I choke |
| Tonight I choose the beast |
| Tonight he lies with me |
| Tonight he lies with me |
| Tonight he lies with me |
| And here comes the beast |
| Put your eyes away |
| If you can’t bear to see your old lady laying |
| Down next to the beast |
| Tonight he lies with me |
| Tonight he lies with me |
| And here comes the beast |
| Look at yourself in the mirror |
| It’s a sight I understand |
| You consider it all for a second |
| And put it down to slight of hand |
| I give you the best, the best that I can |
| I suggest that you be grateful |
| That it’s your blood on my hands |
| And assume yourself weaker, the fall of man |
| And look out for the beast |
| Tonight he lies with me |
| Tonight he lies with me |
| And here comes the beast |
| Put your eyes away |
| If you can’t bear to see your old lady laying |
| Down next to the beast |
| Tonight he lies with me |
| Tonight he lies with me |
| And here comes the beast |
