Nature of the Beast - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

It’s the nature of the beast

To satisfy his every appetite

He doesn’t worry 'bout the cost

He doesn’t worry if it’s wrong or right

There’s no method to his madness

Just watch him step up to the firing line

And it’s all a game

It doesn’t matter who plays

It’s just the nature of the beast

To jump into the fire

Tell me can you feel the heat

I see you walking on the wire

At the crossroads of the night

Too scared of passion but too lonely to learn

Nobody wants to lose control

Nobody wants to be the careless one

Throwin' caution to the wind

And makin' love is like trial by fire

And it’s all a game

It doesn’t matter who plays

It’s just the nature of the beast

To jump into the fire

Tell me can you feel the heat

I see you walking on the wire

(And it’s all a game)

I see you walking on the wire

(And it’s all a game)

See you jump into the fire

(And it’s all a game)

It’s just the nature of the beast

(You never know any shame)

It’s just the nature of the beast

To jump into the fire

Tell me can you feel the heat

I see you walking on the wire

You walking on the wire

It’s just the nature of the beast
