It brings out the worst in me 

Decadence dries deep in the root of mine eyes 

To bring out a thirst in me 

Bust in to Burbank and buy a big beef jerky on Barham 

Stare into the stockyard 

Life in this car out on the road 

Can be so easy 

Then in the evening time 

There's a welcome sight 

In my lazy dream 

I'm still hoping to find 

The best in me is the beast in me 

The best in me is the beast in me 

Hansel and Gretel turning tricks 

For the big bad wolf on Sunset 

In front of the health food store 

See them lining up in their Range Rovers and their Mercedes 

For some peek a boo 

With the queen of hearts 

And as the sun goes down 

In that purple sky 

What passes for stars comes out 

And I'm still hoping to find 

The beast in me is the best in me 

The beast in me is the best in me 

I dreamed I saw Jesus on the sidewalk 

Of Sodom burning sage he told me 

L.A. you're my desert rose 

Forgive me as I age 

All done with my twenties 

Yet there's a reason to live 

Swear I found it in the 

Picks and pans of People magazine 

Its the best in me 

It's the beast in me 

Is it the best in me 

Is it the beast in me 

I made good my escape in my Geo. Prism 

The little red rental that could 

I was praying no more hair would grow on my palms 

As I drove away from the sign it said 

Welcome to Hollywood 

Oh its the beast in me coming on through 

Its the best in me shining on through 

My mama told me 

Watch out 

For the beast in me 

But mama, mama it's okay 

The beast in me 

Its the best in me

Hallelujah
