Those beasts of the dark
They keep banging on my heart
Banging on my heart
Darling

Those beasts of the wild
They wanna bring me down child
Gonna bring me down
And then some

So I take a sip of gin
And a tiny dip in ***
And I wait for it to run
And I hope to hell it howls
To quiet down those mouths
That keep banging on my heart
That keep breaking through the dark
That keep breaking me apart
Darling

Quiet down darling
Quiet down
Quiet down darling
I see you oh so clearly
Now I've let you near me
What you gonna do
To my heart and soul
What you gonna do
If I gave you control
Darling

Darling
You're a beast of the dark
And you're never getting hold
Of this tired old heart
Darling

You're a savage and a fiend
Bitter and you're mean
Even though I'm keen
To see the havoc that you'll reap
You're never getting in
This foolish old heart
Darling
