nature of the beast

it's the nature of the beast

to satisfy his every appetite

he's never worried 'bout the cost

he never worries of he's wrong or right

and there's no method to his madness

you watch him step up to the firing line

she's almost close enough to touch

he feels the heat and reads the danger sign

and it's all a game

it doesn't matter who plays

it's the nature of the beast

to jump into the fire

tell me can't you feel the heat

see you walking on the wire

at the crossroads of the night

too scared of passion but too lonely to run

nobody wants to lose control

nobody wants to be the careless one

throwing caution to the wind

'cos making love is like a trial by fire

and though you know you might get burned

you've got to go with what your heart desires

between love and pain

it never knows any shame

it's the nature of the beast

to jump into the fire

tell me can't you feel the heat

see you walking on the wire

and it's all a game

you never know any shame

it's the nature of the beast

it's the way of the beast

i know you've had the feeling

and it makes you lose control

and it makes wake up screaming

it's the nature of the beast
