.Building  The  Perfect  Beast
Written ：Don  Henley/Danny  Kortchmar
The  power  of  reason,the  top  of  the  heap
We're  the  ones  who  can  kill  the  things  we  don't  eat
Sharper  than  a  serpent's  tongue
Tighter  than  a  bongo  drum
Quicker  than  a  one-night  stand
Slicker  than  a  mambo  band
And  now  the  day  is  come
Soon  he  will  be  released
Glory  Hallelujah!
We're  building  the  Perfect  Beast
（Building,building,etc.）
It's  Olympus  this  time-Olympus  or  bust
For  we  have  met  the  enemy-and  he  is  us
And  now  the  day  is  come
Soon  he  will  be  released
Glory  Hallelujah!
We're  building  the  Perfect  Beast
（Building,building,etc.）
Ever  since  we  crawled  out  of  the  ocean  and  stood  upright  on  land
There  are  some  things  that  we  just  don't  understand:
Relive  all  the  pain  and  suffering  and  lift  us  out  of  the  dark
Turn  us  all  into  Methuselah-
But  where  are  we  gonna  park?
（Building,building,etc.）
The  secrets  of  eternity-
We've  found  the  lock  and  turned  the  key
We're  shakin'up  those  building  blocks
Going  deeper  into  that  box-（Pandora  wouldn't  like  it）
And  now  the  day  is  come
Soon  he  will  be  released
Glory  Hallelujah!
We're  building  the  Perfect  Beast
