Sitting here in a big old box Getting help for my vice

Got a sink and a toilet with aview like the rest of the mice

I lie awake and I shake like a rabid dog waiting to attack

and I crave like an addict and I'm afraid that the beast is back


The beast is back The beast is back The beast is back The beast is back


Got out and got a dead end job right about minimum wage

Serving meals to the homelessto subsidize my rage

I can cook, I can clean, I can run my wheel like a big brown mouse

Breakdown and gotta have it It's back to the halfway house


The beast is back The beast is back The beast is back The beast is back


I look back at my high school daze with a gun in my hand

one step closer to madness I stick my head in the sand

When I'm high, I can dream I can fly

An eagle in a stone cold sweat

I'll crash down like my daddy because my wings are wet


The beast is back The beast is back The beast is back The beast is back
