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 It it's New York or New Year
God help the beast in me

The beast in me
