Sitting here in a big old box Getting help for my vice 
Got a sink and a toilet with aview like the rest of the mice 
I lie awake and I shake like a rabid dog waiting to attack 
and I crave like an addict and I'm afraid that the beast is back 

The beast is back The beast is back The beast is back The beast is back 

Got out and got a dead end job right about minimum wage 
Serving meals to the homelessto subsidize my rage 
I can cook, I can clean, I can run my wheel like a big brown mouse 
Breakdown and gotta have it It's back to the halfway house 

The beast is back The beast is back The beast is back The beast is back 

I look back at my high school daze with a gun in my hand 
one step closer to madness I stick my head in the sand 
When I'm high, I can dream I can fly 
An eagle in a stone cold sweat 
I'll crash down like my daddy because my wings are wet 

The beast is back The beast is back The beast is back The beast is back
