Building The Perfect Beast Lyrics by Don Henley

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- olympus 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 the 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
