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
