Mark Lanegan - The Beast in Me

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 that 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
That is when I must beware
Of the beast in me

That everybody knows
They've seen him out dressed in my clothes
Patently and clear
If it's New York or New Year
God help the beast in me
The beast in me
The beast in me
