From early days of infancy, through trembling years of youth
Long marky 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 exorcise the beast.
He roved up and down through History-spectre with tales to tell
In the darkness when the campfires 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
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 is 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.
Beastie - there's a beast upon my shoulder
Beastie - and a fiend upon my back
Beastie - feel his burning breath a heaving
Beastie - smoke oozing from his stack.
Beastie - and he moves beneath the covers
Beastie - or he lies below the beg
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.
