DON HENLEY - Building The Perfect Beast lyrics

rate me

The power of reason, the top of the heap<br>We're the ones who can kill the things we<br>Don't eat<br>Sharper than a serpent's tongue<br>Tighter than a bongo drum<br>Quicker than a one-night stand<br>Slicker than a mambo band<br>And now the day is come<br>Soon he will be released<br>Glory hallelujah!<br>We're building the perfect beast<br>(building, building, etc..)<br>It's olympus this time- olympus or bust<br>For we have met the enemy -and he is us<br>And now the day is come<br>Soon he will be released<br>Glory hallelujah!<br>We're building the perfect beast<br>(building, building)<br>Ever since we crawled out of the ocean<br>And stood upright on the land<br>There are some things that we just don't<br>Understand:<br>Relieve all pain and suffering<br>And lift us out of the dark<br>Turn us all into methuselah-<br>But where are we gonna park? <br>(building, building)<br>The secrets of eternity-<br>We've found the lock and turned the key<br>We're shakin' up those building blocks<br>Going deeper into that box- (pandora<br>Wouldn't like it)<br>And now the day is come<br>Soon he will be released<br>Glory hallelujah!<br>We're building the perfect beast<br>(building, building)<br>All the way to malibu from the land of the<br>Talking drum-<br>Just look how far-look how far we've come
