The Beast In Me Lyrics - American Recordings - Johnny Cash

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 had 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 just 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 out dressed in my clothes 

Patently unclear If it's New York or New Year 

God help the beast in me
