Don Henley Building the Perfect Beast song lyrics
Don Henley Building the Perfect Beast song lyrics
The power of reason, the top of the heap
We're the ones who can kill the things we don't eat
Sharper than a serpent's tongue
Tighter than a bongo drum
Quicker than a one-night stand
Slicker than a mambo band
And now the day is come
Soon he will be released
Glory Hallelujah!
We're building the Perfect Beast
Building, building
Building, building
Building, building
Building, building
It's Olympus this time-Olympus or bust
For we have met the enemy-and he is us
And now the day is come
Soon he will be released
Glory Hallelujah!
We're building the Perfect Beast
Building, building
Building, building
Building, building
Building, building
Ever since we crawled out of the ocean
And stood upright on land
There are some things that we just don't understand:
Relive all the pain and suffering and lift us out of the dark
Turn us all into Methuselah
But where are we gonna park?
Building, building
Building, building
Building, building
Building, building
The secrets of eternity
We've found the lock and turned the key
We're shaking up those building blocks
Going deeper into that box
(Pandora wouldn't like it)
And now the day is come
Soon he will be released
Glory Hallelujah!
We're building the Perfect Beast
Building, building
Building, building
Building, building
All the way to Malibu
From the land of the Talking drum
Just look how far, look how far we have come
Building, building
