Lyrics The Beast in Me - Nick Lowe

The beast in me
Is caged by frail and fragile bonds
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
Or even somehow managed
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
