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

Did you consider it all for a second

And put it down to sleight of hand



You know I've been running round for hours

Calling my Gyptian 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 come the beast



You're ok 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 onto the slope

Hold my head high just by the tip of my toes

He lies, he lies, so sweet that I choke



Tonight I choose the beast

And tonight he lies with me

Tonight he lies with me

Tonight he lies with me

Here come the beast



Put your eyes away

If you can't bear to see

Your old lady lay down next to the beast

Tonight he lies with me

Tonight he lies with me

And here come the beast



If you catch yourself in the mirror

It's a sight I understand

You consider it all for a second

And put it down to sleight of hand



I give you the best advice that I can

What I suggest is you be grateful there's no blood on my hands

And assume yourself weaker to the fall of man

And look out for the beast

Cause tonight he lies with me

Tonight he lies with me

Tonight he lies with me

Here come the beast



Put your eyes away if you can't bear to see

Your old lady lay down next to the beast

Tonight he lies with me

Tonight he lies with me

Here come the beast
