What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
From early days of infancy, through trembling years
2
Of youth, long murky middle-age and final hours
3
Long in the tooth, he is the hundred names of terror ---
4
Creature you love the least. Picture his name before
5
You and exorcise the beast.
6
He roved up and down through history --- spectre
7
With tales to tell. In the darkness when the
8
Campfire's dead --- to each his private hell. If you look
9
Behind your shoulder as you feel his eyes to feast, you
10
Can witness now the everchanging nature of the beast.
11
Beastie
12
If you wear a warmer sporran, you can keep the foe at
13
Bay. You can pop those pills and visit some
14
Psychiatrist who'll say --- There's nothing I can do
15
For you, everywhere's a danger zone. I'd love to help
16
Get rid of it, but I've got one of my own.
17
There's a beast upon my shoulder and a fiend upon
18
My back. Feel his burning breath a heaving, smoke
19
Oozing from his stack. And he moves beneath the
20
Covers or he lies below the bed. He's the beast upon
21
Your shoulder. He's the price upon your head. He's
22
The lonely fear of dying, and for some, of living too.
23
He's your private nightmare pricking. He'd just love
24
To turn the screw. So stand as one defiant --- yes, and
25
Let your voices swell. Stare that beastie in the face
26
And really give him hell.
