Walking With The Beast lyrics

 
Song Details
Artist(s)The Gun Club
Album(s)  -

In the still of the night, I walk with the Beast
In the heat of the night, I sleep with the Beast
who slipped so deep inside me

I prayed to Elvis on my knees
to take this thing from around me
or snap it with a thundercrack
and change my blues to black

Look how my love had blessed me
with such a dead thing around me,

I'm walking with the Beast

I got next to somebody long ago
but, I was too young to be controlled
then, she got lucky after me
I didn't get so lucky

It covered me when I was alone
a special darkness of my own
that followed me up to Memphis
and on my left side ever since

Lord, how my love has blessed me
with such a dead thing around me

I'm walking with the Beast

(noise)

It will be with me tonight
in the dying vision that is my sight
I have to look into it's eyes
in the horror of the southern summer night

In the bus station when I leave
In the path through the willow trees
someday I'll go to the mountain and take my stand
the passion will rain all over the land
