The Beast Laura Marling

[Verse]
Where did our love go?
You will never know
How did you get home?
You will never know
Did you catch yourself in the mirror?
It's a sight I understand
You consider it all for a second
And put it down to sleight of hand
You know I've been running 'round for hours
Calling my Gyptian blood to bear me flowers
Calling Sophia, goddess of power

[Chorus]
Instead I got the beast
And tonight, he lies with me
Tonight, he lies with me
Tonight, he lies with me
And here come the beast

[Verse]
You're OK now?
"I suppose"
You're not pulled by the rope?
I'm pulled by the pull on my throat
I'm pulled by the rope
I swing from the trees into the slope
Hold my head high just by the tip of my toes
And he lies, he lies, so sweet that I choke
