From ‘Walking With The Beast’ by Primal Scream
(On album: More Light – 2013)
Here’s that most gripping, gloomy ballad in full…
Violence in the air, damage everywhere
Murder in my dreams, waking up to screams
I just can’t explain the way I’m feeling sad
Hits me like a train, eating me alive
Walking with the beast, walking with the beast
You can’t get no peace walking with the beast
You can’t get no peace, you can’t get no peace walking with the beast
There goes another man, his future’s in his hands
Doesn’t know he’s going down, he’s still alive as he drowns
His pain heals as disease, handsome every time we breeze
Hits some suffering everyone, he’s sucking on loaded gone
Walking with the beast, walking with the beast
You can’t get no peace walking with the beast
You can’t get no peace, you can’t get no peace walking with the beast
