Beast In Me

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 it's 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
