Walkin' With The Beast Lyrics - The Las Vegas Story - The Gun Club

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 

And rots the love right out of me 

I prayed to Elvis on my knees 

To take this thing from around me 

Or snap it with a thunder-crack 

And change my blues to black 

But, how did my love surround me 

With such a dead thing around me, 

I'm just walkin' I'm just walkin' 

I'm just walkin' 

Walkin' with the beast 

I'm not alone, there's trucks outside 

My body hurts, there's trucks outside 

You get lucky in the bar 

You're down and lucky in the dark 

Indian winds across the skies 

Black against the Nevada skies 

There's nothing you say that does not squeal 

There's nothing you want you do not steal 

Well, how my love surrounds me 

With such a dead thing around me 

I'm just walkin' I'm just walkin' 

I'm just walkin' 

Walkin' with the beast 

The Beast will be with me tonight 

Wild across the western sky 

Someday, I'll go to the mountain and take my stand 

And my spirit will rain all over this land 

Sick across the highway bar 

Sick and going way too far 

It's the new world, see if you like it 

It's the new world, you cannot fight it 

Well, how my love done blessed me 

With such a dead thing around me 

I'm just walkin' with the beast
