The Weird Beast
(Rickie Lee Jones)

I brought the Weird Beast here
From Van Nuys Boulevard
So I would not be without a man
When the Tartars reign
Flooded the empty streets of Paris...
And on one of these
Passing boats I thought
I saw the Weird Beast
Speaking in the Russian tongue

Will he kill the Czar?
Will he kill the Czar?

Someday you'll meet a stranger
Locations everywhere you go
All of the science you've kept in bottles
Because someday this dream is going to end
I have this feeling
A Weird Beast is going to come our way

Draw the Weird Beast everywhere you go.
Death speaks the foreign language so
Make sure they hear him breathing
