The Beast in Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The beast in me
Is caged by frail and fragile bars
Restless by day
And by night, rants and rages at the stars
God help the beast in me
The beast in me
Has had to learn to live with pain
And how to shelter from the rain
And in the twinkling of an eye
Might have to be restrained
God help the beast in me
Sometimes, it tries to kid me
That it`s just a teddy bear
And even somehow manage to vanish in the air
And that is when I must beware
Of the beast in me that everybody knows
They`ve seen him out dressed in my clothes
Patently unclear
If it`s New York or New Year
God help the beast in me
The beast in me
