Henley Don Building The Perfect Beast Lyrics

Building The Perfect Beast 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, etc.)



It's Olympus this time - POOlympus 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)



Ever since we crawled out of the ocean and stood upright on land

There are some things that we just don't understand:

Relieve all pain and suffering and lift us out of the dark

Turn us all into Methuselah-

But where are we gonna park?

(Building, building)



The secrets of eternity-

We've found the lock and turned the key

We're shakin' 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)



All the way to Malibu from the Land of the Talking Drum-

Just look how far - look how far we've come
