The Beast in Me

[Verse 1]
The beast in me
Is caged by frail and fragile bars
Restless by day and by night
Rants and rages at the stars
Lord help the beast in me

[Verse 2]
The beast in me
Has had to learn to live with pain
And in the twinkling of an eye
Might have to be restrained
God help the beast in me

[Bridge]
Sometimes it tries to kid me
That it's just a teddy bear
And even somehow manage
To vanish in the air
And that's when I must beware

[Verse 3]
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
