Lyrics (The Beast In Me):

The beast in me

Is caged by frail and fragile bars

Restless by day

And by night rants and rages at the stars

God help the beast in me

The beast in me

Has to learn to live with pain

And how to shelter from the rain

And in the twinkling of an eye

Might have to be restrained

God help the beast in me

Sometimes it tries to kid me

That it's a teddy bear

And even somehow manage to vanish in the air

And that is when I must beware

Of the beast in me that everybody knows

They've seen him dressed in my clothes

Patently unclear

If it's New York or New Year

God help the beast in me

The beast in me

Lyrics (Redemption):

From the hands it came down

From the side it came down

From the feet it came down

And ran to the ground

Between heaven and hell

A teardrop fell

In the deep crimson dew

The tree of life grew

And the blood gave life

To the branches of the tree

And the blood was the price

That set captives free

And the numbers that came

Through the fire and the flood

Clung to the tree

And were redeemed by the blood

From the tree streamed a light

That started the fight

'Round the tree grew a vine

On whose fruit I could dine

My old friend Lucifer came

Fought to keep me in chains

But I saw through the tricks

Of six-sixty-six

And the blood gave life

To the branches of the tree

And the blood was the price

That set captives free

And the numbers that came

Through the fire and the flood

Clung to the tree

And were redeemed by the blood

From his hands it came down

From his side it came down

From his feet it came down

And ran to the ground

And a small inner voice

Said "You do have a choice."

The vine engrafted me

And I clung to the tree

(...and always WILL be his stepson. That's just "The Way". I'm an atheist and I understand and live by the vows of marriage)"Patently unclear, if it's New York or New Year". That's so Nick Lowe.You did alright kid. Not easy to write for your father-in-law, especially when he was Johnny Cash.You should watch the story of how Nick finally presented the song to Johnny. Great story as told by the writer. Do a search for "Nick Lowe - The Beast In Me"
