Beast of Love lyrics

I thought since I'm asking people to vote for this tune in this contest (here, if you want to vote for it, or just want to hear it), that it would only be fair to post the lyrics to the thing. So, here they are. Prepare to be illuminated and astonished at your new understanding of the human condition:

She picked me outside of town


in her fast car with the top down

she said "I think I've seen you around

In a place where angels fear to tread."



I said "I think you're right, I've seen you, too.

You skin so pale, your eyes so blue

In that place where all fees are past due

And if you're not desperate you're dead."



They were beasts, sat down to feast

They were the beasts of love.



She said "You have a reputation in certain circles

A status that's nearly mythical

An outlook that's hardly ethical

to those who aren't in the know."



I said nothing, I couldn't disagree

the silence grew long between her and me

I didn't know what she wanted me to be

an ebb, maybe, or a flow?



She was a beast, she was at the feast

she was a beast of love.



She dropped the hammer down, away we flew

abandoned the old, racing towards the new

we hardly knew what we were getting into

that lonesome and fateful night.



She stopped in a desolate spot

I knew, here we go, ready or not

She didn't take it all, only a lot

I gave it up without a fight



Now I'm a beast, to say the least

I am a beast of love.



We're all beasts, at the feast

we're all beasts of love
