From early days of infancy,

through trembling years of youth,

long in the tooth,

he is the hundred names of terror 
-creature you love the least.

Picture his name before you and

Eb A             F5   (REST THE 
SAME)
He roved up and down through history
 --- spectre
with tales to tell. In the darkness 
when the
campfire's dead --- to each his 
private hell. If you look
behind your shoulder as you feel his
 eyes to feast, you
can witness now the everchanging 
nature of the beast.

(REST THE SAME)
If you wear a warmer sporran, you 
can keep the foe at
bay. You can pop those pills and 
visit some
psychiatrist who'll say --- There's 
nothing I can do
for you, everywhere's a danger zone.
 I'd love to help
get rid of it, but I've got one of 
my own.

There's a beast upon my shoulder and
 a fiend upon
my back. Feel his burning breath a 
heaving, smoke
oozing from his stack. And he moves 
beneath the
covers or he lies below the bed. 
He's the beast upon
your shoulder. He's the price upon 
your head. He's
the lonely fear of dying, and for 
some, of living too.
He's your private nightmare 
pricking. He'd just love
to turn the screw. So stand as one 
defiant --- yes, and
let your voices swell. Stare that 
beastie in the face
and really give him hell.
