In the still of the night, I walk with the Beast   in the heat of the night, I sleep with the Beast   who slipped so deep inside me   and rots the love right out of me      I prayed to Elvis on my knees   to take this thing from around me   or snap it with a thundercrack   and change my blues to black      but, how did my love surround me   with such a dead thing around me,      I'm just walkin' I'm just walkin'   I'm just walkin'   Walkin' with the Beast...      I'm not alone, there's trucks outside   My body hurts, there's trucks outside   you get lucky in the bar   you're down and lucky in the dark      indian winds across the skies   black against the Nevada skies   there's nothing you say that does not squeal   there's nothing you want you do not steal      well, how my love surrounds me   with such a dead thing around me      I'm just walkin' I'm just walkin'   I'm just walkin'   Walkin' with the Beast      The Beast will be with me tonight   wild across the western sky   someday, I'll go to the mountain and take my stand   and my spirit will rain all over this land      Sick across the highway bar   sick and going way too far   it's the new world, see if you like it   it's the new world, you cannot fight it      Well, how my love done blessed me   with such a dead thing around me,      I'm just walkin' with the beast...
