Walking With The Beast lyrics In the still of the night, I walk with the Beast
In the heat of the night, I sleep with the Beast
who slipped so deep inside me
I prayed to Elvis on my knees
to take this thing from around me
or snap it with a thundercrack
and change my blues to black
Look how my love had blessed me
with such a dead thing around me,
I'm walking with the Beast
I got next to somebody long ago
but, I was too young to be controlled
then, she got lucky after me
I didn't get so lucky
It covered me when I was alone
a special darkness of my own
that followed me up to Memphis
and on my left side ever since
Lord, how my love has blessed me
with such a dead thing around me
I'm walking with the Beast
(noise)
It will be with me tonight
in the dying vision that is my sight
I have to look into it's eyes
in the horror of the southern summer night
In the bus station when I leave
In the path through the willow trees
someday I'll go to the mountain and take my stand
the passion will rain all over the land
