My cage rattles day and night
I'm always inside
From time to time, come on by
And whisper through the bars
'Cause nothing's kinder than the truth
It seems
However much it hurts, I'm down for the real thing

Mother Mary, I've still got the mark on me
Sister Rainbow, don't be wary, you know we beasts come in peace
You'll see
Our story is never ending

I heard you singing in the garden
Or was that just a dream?
The song, the words, the voice
That howled only for me
After the outrage, tell me what do you really need?
Now that you've yelled from the mountain
Might we slither through the weeds?

Mother Mary, I've still got the mark on me
Sister Rainbow, don't be wary, you know we beasts come to please
You'll see
The need repeats
Repeats, indeed
Our story is never ending

I've still got the mark on me
It never really leaves, never really leaves
I've still got the mark on me
It speaks to me

I've still got the mark on me
It never really leaves, never really leaves
I've still got the beast in me
It speaks to me
