Laura Marling - The Beast Lyrics
Where did our love go, you will never knowHow did you get home, you will never knowDid you catch yourself in the mirror?It's a sight I understandYou considered it all for a secondAnd put it down to slight of handYou know I've been running 'round for hoursCalling my egyptian(?) blood to bear me flowersCalling sophia, goddess of powerInstead I got the beastAnd tonight he lies with meTonight he lies with meTonight he lies with meAnd here comes to beastYou're okay now, I supposeYou're not pulled by the ropeI'm pulled by the pull on my throatI'm pulled by the ropeI swing from the trees into the slopeHold my head high, just by the tip of my toesAnd he lies, he lies so sweet that I chokeTonight I choose the beastTonight he lies with meTonight he lies with meTonight he lies with meAnd here comes the beastPut your eyes awayIf you can't bear to see your (the?) old ladyLaying down next to the beastTonight he lies with meTonight he lies with meAnd here comes the beastLook at yourself in the mirrorIt's a sight I understandYou consider it all for a secondAnd put it down to slight of handI give you the best, the best that I canI suggest that you be gratefulThat it's your blood on my hands?And assume yourself weaker, the fall of man (?)And look out for the beastTonight he lies with meTonight he lies with meAnd here comes the beastPut your eyes awayIf you can't bear to see your (the?) old ladyLaying down next to the beastTonight he lies with meTonight he lies with meAnd here comes the beast
