Beast
Agnes Obel Lyrics

I would know who roars mostly like the beast
I want to know who has a temperament or attitude that is similar to that of the beast

Going out to hunt and then back to feast
The beast hunts for its prey and eats after it has hunted

I consider you, I consider you
I'm thinking about you, I'm thinking about you

From your hill of beans I will sit and roar
I will observe your world from afar and make my presence known

Thinking to myself, what are you waiting for?
I'm curious about what you're hesitant to do or what you want to achieve

Let's go tonight, let the beast run a mile
Let's do something wild or adventurous tonight

With the dogs and the cattle, let's go
Let's include other living beings in the adventure

I know you said it's like a heel to the head
I know you believe it's a painful or difficult experience

Or a girl in your bed and in your arms
Or having a sexual relationship that is emotionally satisfying

Curiosity you do not know
You're not aware of how curious I am about you or what you do

But with a gang of me you'll be on your toes
With more of me around, you'll feel more alert or aware of what's going on

For a bit of skirt you do go my way
You often put yourself in situations where you might meet women

Singing to the sky, oh like a bird of prey
You're letting out your emotions or desires like a predator in the wild

For the butter on your bread, for the dying and the dead
For the simple pleasures of life, and for those alive and dead

For your cheeks turning red, let's go
For the excitement or blush you feel, let's do it
