oh beast in the bottle,
you are my best friend
my comforter when am in trouble
the very one that gives me trouble I can't defend

gentle are you in your house,
but greater trouble in my blood
you made me someone that forgot his house
and lay in the gutter playing with mud

sparkling are you in my eye,
you gave me courage to speak to the crowd
you made my wife and children cry
seeing their father in your act enshroud

my eye turned red and mountains are smaller than ants
with step I swayed left and right
foolishly I spoke but it's all facts
but no one acknowledged my word because they don't count
