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


All The beast in me 
has 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 
And 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
