The Beast In Me lyrics

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 evening time 
There's a welcome sight 
In my lazy dream 
I'm still hoping to find 
The best in me is the beast in me 
The best in me is the beast in me 
Hansel and Gretel turning tricks 
For the big bad wolf on Sunset 
In front of the health food store 
See them lining 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 
And I'm still hoping to find 
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 burning sage he told me 
L.A. you're my desert rose 
Forgive me as I age 
All done with my twenties 
Yet there's a reason to live 
Swear I found it in the 
Picks and pans of People magazine 
Its the best in me 
It's the beast in me 
Is it the best in me 
Is it the beast in me 
I made good my escape in my Geo. Prism 
The little red rental that could 
I was praying no more hair would grow on my palms 
As I drove away from the sign it said 
Welcome to Hollywood 
Oh its the beast in me coming on through 
Its the best in me shining on through 
My mama told me 
Watch out 
For the beast in me 
But mama, mama it's okay 
The beast in me 
Its the best in me
Hallelujah
