Concrete Blonde - The Beast Lyrics

The prey of the beast screamed, "Bloody murder"
The line is so fine between hoping and hurting
Former believers, they beg for release
As love looking down on them smiles and picks his teeth

Trapped in between heaven and hell
He knows all the secrets you don't want to tell
There's nowhere to run and there's nowhere to hide
Love knows you all too well, he will find you

Love is the ghost haunting your head
Love is the killer you thought was your friend
Love is the creature who lives in the dark
Sneak up, will stick you and painfully pick you apart

Love is a poet, love sings the songs
Pointing his finger you follow along
Voices are calling, the monster wants out of you
Paws you and claws you, you try not to fall

Love is the leech, sucking you up
Love is a vampire, drunk on your blood
Love is the beast that will tear out your heart
Hungrily lick it and painfully pick it apart

Love is the leech, sucking you up
Love is a vampire, drunk on your blood
Love is the beast that will tear out your heart
Hungrily lick it and painfully pick it apart

Love is a ghost, haunting your head
Love is the killer you thought was your friend
Love is the teacher who lives in the dark
Sneak up and stick you and painfully pick you apart
Ooh yeah!
