Beastie - Jethro Tull
From early days of infancy
Through trembling years
Of youth
Long murky middle age
And final hours
Long in the tooth
He is the hundred names of terror
Creature you love the least
Picture his name before
You and exorcise the beast
He roved up and down through history spectre
With tales to tell
In the darkness when the
Campfire's dead to each his private hell
If you look
Behind your shoulder as you feel his eyes
To feast you
Can witness now the everchanging
Nature of the beast
Beastie
Will beastie
Beastie
Beastie
If you wear a warmer sporran
You can keep the foe at bay
You can pop those pills and visit some
Psychiatrist who'll say
There's nothing I can do
For you everywhere's a danger zone
I'd love to help
Get rid of it
But I've got one of my own
There's a beast
Upon beast for my shoulder
Beastie
And a fiend upon
My back
Beastie
Feel his burning breath a heaving
Smoke
Beastie
Oozing from his stack
And he moves beneath the
Covers
Beastie
Or he lies below the bed
Beastie
He's the beast upon
Your shoulder
Beastie
He's the price upon your head
He's
The lonely fear of dying
And for some of living too
He's your private nightmare pricking
He'd just love
To turn the screw
So stand as one defiant yes and
Let your voices swell
Stare that beastie in the face
And really give him hell
Beastie
There's a beast upon my shoulder
Beastie
And a fiend upon
My back
Beastie
Feel his burning breath a heaving
Beastie
Oozing from his stack
Beastie
And he moves beneath the
Covers
Beastie
Or he lies below the bed
Beastie
He's the beast upon
Your shoulder
Beastie
He's the price upon your head
Hell hell hell
I got this
