Lost man singing for his soul
I saw it on Rio Bravo
He held the notes like rock and roll
Told his tale to Colorado
I gave up my only twin
Turned my face to the world of shadows
Sometimes the righteous win
Most times it’s a losing battle
Swam naked in the mythic lake
Spent the night on the face of the Earth
From the apple tree I ripped a snake
It was poison but I knew of its worth
Kept it in a box of wood
Fed it on my sins and apples
Try to do the things I should
Most times it’s a losing battle
It’s always been in my nature
To be the Beast
Blame the Maker
But stay with me
Drifted down to Tennessee
Lost my heart to a girl of silver
She was trying to be free
There was nothing to forgive her
By the time the fever broke
And I had had enough of trouble
That’s when trouble spoke
Sometimes it’s a losing battle
It’s always been in my nature
To be the Beast
Blame the Maker
But stay with me
Fell into a den of thieves
Got lost in the Caves of Virtue
Born again and lost belief
Without a friend ’til the day I met you
Now I’m trying to mend my ways
Had enough of pain and bad will
Good enough for you some day
‘Til then it’s a losing battle
