Tony Cousins - The Beast lyrics

Where did our love go You will never know How did you get home You will never know Did you catch yourself in the mirror? It's a sight I understand You consider it all for a second And put it down to sleight of hand You know I've been running 'round for hours Calling my Egyptian blood to bear me flowers Calling Sophia, goddess of power Instead I got the beast And tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me And here comes the beast You're okay now, I suppose You're not pulled by the rope I'm pulled by the pull on my throat I'm pulled by the rope I swing from the trees into the slope Hold my head high, just by the tip of my toes And he lies, he lies so sweet that I choke Tonight I choose the beast Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me And here come the beast Put your eyes away If you can't bear to see your old lady lay Down next to the beast Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me And here come the beast Look at yourself in the mirror It's a sight I understand You consider it all for a second And put it down to sleight of hand I give you the best advice that I can I suggest that you be grateful There's no blood on my hands And a**ume yourself weaker than the fall of man And look out for the beast Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me And here come the beast Put your eyes away If you can't bear to see your old lady lay Down next to the beast Tonight he lies with me Tonight he lies with me And here come the beast
