The Beast in Me

Every single time I come to this town 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 evenin' time, there's a welcome sight In my lazy dreams I'm still hopin', still hopin', still hopin' to find The best in me is the beast in me The best in me is the beast in me The best in me is the beast in me The best in me is the beast in me Hansel and Gretel turnin' tricks for the big bad wolf on Sunset In front of the health food store See 'em linin' 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 I'm still hopin', still hopin', still hopin' to find The beast in me is the best in me The beast in me is the best in me The beast in me is the best in me The beast in me is the best in me The beast in me is the best in me The beast in me is the best in me 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 burnin' sage he told me "LA you're my desert rose, forgive me your age I've done with my twenties but there's a reason to live Swear I found it in the picks and pans of People magazine" The best in me is the beast in me The best in me is the beast in me The best in me is the beast in me The best in me is the beast in me The best in me is the beast in me The best in me is the beast in me The best in me is the beast in me The best in me is the beast in me I made good my escape in my Geo Prism The little red rental that could I was prayin' no more hair would grow on my palms As I drove away from the sign, it said "Welcome to Hollywood" Oh, it's the beast in me comin' on through It's the best in me shinin' on through Mama had told me, watch out for the beast in me But mama, mama it's okay Yeah, the beast in me, oh, it's the best in me Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah The beast in me is the best in me The beast in me is the best in me The beast in me is the best in me ...
