      [the beast box is dreaming:01]:beast box

   Its shape tells us plainly,
  time inside is curved.
 It holds Elvis Presley's body
 perfectly preserved.

When Kennedy came with Monroe
late in '55,
the senator carved their names
by the overdrive.
It's an accident of nature
designed by architects,
NASA built it from an alloy
they'd stolen from the Czechs.

The Beast Box is dreaming what you believe
the Beast Box is dreaming.
The Beast Box is dreaming what you believe
the Beast Box is dreaming.

The replica at Disneyland
in the big exhibition hall -
it's correct to the last nut and bolt;
it's nothing like it at all!
If a pregnant woman touches it,
the child will be shy.
And if you glimpse it once,
you eventually die.

The Beast Box is dreaming what you believe
the Beast Box is dreaming.
The Beast Box is dreaming what you believe
the Beast Box is dreaming.

In a dream I'm inside
with my kid brother.
There's scenes of awful suffering.
We're avoiding looking at each other.
Then he's pointing to the handrail -
it's long, of burnished chrome -
saying, in that stupid voice of his,
"Some of this would look good
in the bathroom back home."
Freemasons talk about it all the time,
their hands at funny angles.
In moonlight it resembles
a biscuit tin that dangles.

The Beast Box is dreaming what you believe
the Beast Box is dreaming.
The Beast Box is dreaming what you believe
the Beast Box is dreaming.

[brief guitar solo]

Juice in the front,
juice in the back,
a cardboard gothic frame.
They sold it off for scrap last year
to our eternal shame.
