Laura Marling - The Beast lyrics

[Laura Marling - The Beast lyrics]

Where did our love go? You will never know
How did you get home? You will never know
Did you catch yourself in the mirror?
It's a sight I understand
Did you consider it all for a second?
And put it down to sleight of hand
You know I've been running 'round for hours

Calling my Gyptian blood to bear me flowers
Calling Sophia goddess of power

Instead I got the beast
And tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here come the beast

You're ok now? "I suppose"
You're not pulled by the rope?
I'm pulled by the pull on my throat
I'm pulled by the rope


I swing from the trees onto the slope
Hold my head high just by the tip of my toes
He lies he lies
So sweet that I choke
Tonight I choose the beast
And tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here come the beast

Put your eyes away if you can't bear to see
Your old lady lay down next to the beast
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here come the beast

If you catch yourself in the mirror
It's a sight I understand
You consider it all for a second
And put it down to sleight of hand
I give you the best advice that I can
What I suggest is you be grateful
There's no blood on my hands
And assume yourself weaker to the fall of man

And look out for the beast
'Cause tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me
And here come the beast
Put your eyes away if you can't bear to see
Your old lady lay down next to the beast
Tonight he lies with me
Tonight he lies with me here come the beast
