Nature of the beast

we set out on a windy highway,
lookin' out for what the good life brings,
no food just a list of questions,
a little stage for the bands to sing,

the lights inside are flashing,
there's jokes and people laughing,
they love the sound of clapping hands,

in the corner your girlfriend's crying,
her heart is broken and she thinks it's dying,
make a promise that she's the one you really love,
it's the nature of the beast.

ten horses and the King is sleeping,
in a dream he has lost his clothes,
second grade i was kicked for breathing,
what a day for a bloody nose,

the teachers knew the meaning,
what colors were we seeing?
their empty questions make me feel the life,

pledge allegience to the flag that's burning,
now my simple mind is lost and turning,
make a promise that it's the one you really love,
it's the nature of the beast.

West of lost and North of nowhere,
broken down like a pack of wolves,
free ride with your thumb extended,
up above the moon is full,

this highway goes forever,
our driver wears a feather,
through any kind of weather we keep moving on,

hailing cabs on a city street,
anybody that you could meet,
would make a promise that you're the one they really love,

this highway goes forever,
our driver wears a feather,
through any kind of weather we keep moving on,

in a corner your girlfriend's crying,
her heart is broken and she thinks it's dying,
make a promise that she's the one you really love,
it's the nature of the beast.

in a dream he has lost his clothes,
second grade I was kicked for breathing,
what a day for a bloody nose,

the teachers knew the meaning,
what colors were we seeing?
their empty questions made me feel alive,

pledge allegience to the flag that's burning,
now my simple mind is lost and turning,
make a promise that it's the one you really love,
it's the nature of the beast,
it's the nature of the beast,
it's the nature of the beast,
it's the nature of the beast.
