Beast Of Souls
by: Tobin SproutThe makers of Marvin call Miranda
Waxers of the beast of souls
Stickler for the perfect ending
Winner keep all
Stereo your life one day
Lean this way, then another
Marvin's in the kitchen working on something right
The makers of Marvin complication
Masters of the beast of souls
Suckers of the founders jump through perfect windows
Stride your ride aside and cave
Lean this way, then another
Marvin's in the kitchen cooking up something right
Lean this way, then another
Marvin's in the kitchen working on something right
The makers of Marvin conversation
Waxers of the beast of souls
Stickler for the perfect ending
Winner keep all
Stereo your life one day
Lean this way, then another
Marvin's in the kitchen working on something right
Look both ways and take cover
