The song musically contains a mixture of Cocteau Twins and The Beatles on top with gothic sounds, haunted piano and atmospheric sound effects that make them ooze the loss and lounge. This song is about psychotic love.

## Lyrics

In her place one hundred candles burning

As salty sweat drips from her breast

Her hips move and I can feel what they're saying, swaying

They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get... yeah

Yeah

Black lipstick stains her glass of red wine

I am your servant, may I light your cigarette?

Those lips smooth, yeah I can feel what you're saying, praying

They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get... yeah

Yeah

I beg to serve, your wish is my law

Now close those eyes and let me love you to death

Shall I prove I mean what I'm saying?

Begging

I say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get.. yeah

Let me love you to...

Let me love you to death

To death

Let me love you to...

Let me love you to death

To death

Am I good enough for you?

Am I good enough for you?

Am I?

For you?

Am I?

For you?

Am I good enough

for you?
