The Gun Club - 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 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 thundercrack 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...
