[ti: Beastie]
[length: 03:59]
[00:19.48]From early days of infancy, through trembling years of youth
[00:24.15]Long murky middle age and final hours long in the tooth
[00:29.19]Here’s the hundred names of terror, creature you love the least
[00:34.04]Picture his name before you and exorcise the beast
[00:41.39]He roved up and down through history, spectre with tales to tell
[00:46.27]In the darkness when the campfire’s dead, to each his private hell
[00:51.18]If you look behind your shoulder as you feel his eyes to feast
[00:55.98]You can witness now the everchanging nature of the beast
[01:00.70]Beastie, beastie, beastie, beastie
[01:23.33]If you wear a warmer sporran, you can keep the foe at bay
[01:27.87]You can pop those pills and visit some psychiatrist who’ll say
[01:32.86]”There’s nothing I can do for you, everywhere’s a danger zone
[01:37.86]I’d love to help get rid of it but I’ve got one of my own”
[01:42.71]Beastie, there’s a beast upon my shoulder
[01:47.34]Beastie, and a fiend upon my back
[01:52.22]Beastie, feel his burning breath a-heaving
[01:57.27]Beastie, smoke oozing from his stack
[02:27.51]And he moves beneath the covers
[02:30.75]Beastie, or he lies below the bed
[02:35.79]Beastie, he’s the beast upon your shoulder
[02:40.53]Beastie, and he’s the price upon your head
[02:50.49]He’s the lonely fear of dying and for some of living too
[02:55.15]He’s your private nightmare pricking, he’d just love to turn the screw
[03:00.26]So stand as one defiant, yes and let your voices swell
[03:05.31]Stare that beastie in the face and really give him hell
[03:09.78]Beastie, there’s a beast upon my shoulder
[03:14.67]Beastie, and a fiend upon my back
[03:19.69]Beastie, feel his burning breath a-heaving
[03:24.61]Beastie, smoke oozing from his stack
[03:29.60]Beastie, and he moves beneath the covers
[03:34.52]Beastie, or he lies below the bed
[03:39.49]Beastie, he’s the beast upon your shoulder
[03:44.36]Beastie, and he’s the price upon your head
[03:53.52]Look out, look out
