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 '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 comes the beast

You're ok now, I suppose
You're not pulled by the rope
I'm pulled by the pull of 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
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
Lay down next to the beast
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here comes 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 slight of hand
I give you the best advice that I can
I suggest that 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
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 lay down next to the beast
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here comes the beast
