Beastie Lyrics - Broadsword And The Beast - Jethro Tull

From early days of infancy, through trembling years of youth 

Long murky middle age and final hours long in the tooth 

Here's the hundred names of terror, creature you love the least 

Picture his name before you and exorcise the beast 

He roved up and down through history, spectre with tales to tell 

In the darkness when the campfire's dead, to each his private hell 

If you look behind your shoulder as you feel his eyes to feast 

You can witness now the everchanging nature of the beast 

Beastie, beastie, beastie, beastie 

If you wear a warmer sporran, you can keep the foe at bay 

You can pop those pills and visit some psychiatrist who'll say 

"There's nothing I can do for you, everywhere's a danger zone 

I'd love to help get rid of it but I've got one of my own"

Beastie, there's a beast upon my shoulder 

Beastie, and a fiend upon my back 

Beastie, feel his burning breath a-heaving 

Beastie, smoke oozing from his stack 

And he moves beneath the covers 

Beastie, or he lies below the bed 

Beastie, he's the beast upon your shoulder 

Beastie, and he's the price upon your head 

He's the lonely fear of dying and for some of living too 

He's your private nightmare pricking, he'd just love to turn the screw 

So stand as one defiant, yes and let your voices swell 

Stare that beastie in the face and really give him hell 

Beastie, there's a beast upon my shoulder 

Beastie, and a fiend upon my back 

Beastie, feel his burning breath a-heaving 

Beastie, smoke oozing from his stack

Beastie, and he's the price upon your head 

Look out, look out
