Necessary Evil
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let's get lost
Fingers first
It is an ordinary evening, yeah
I am broadcasting and you're receving, yeah
Sick, sick sound
All fall down
It is a necessary evil, yeah
Just like highways, gas stations and people
I remember golden days
When all this was a mystery
And you could write a letter, then
Or, God forbid, come visit me
If you find yourself without me
If you find yourself without me
Can you find yourself without me?
Can you find yourself without me?
Hey, I'm fine
You are saying nothing
But your tongue is getting blacker all the time
It is a measurable feeling, yeah
Seven on escale from dead to breathing
I connected speakers
To my suitors at the discotheques
And they don't know the difference
Are they man or are they memorex?
If you find yourself without me
If you find yourself without me
Come on, find yourself without me
Come on, come on, come on
And take your Listerine
Listerine
I remember golden days
When all this was a mystery
And you could write a letter, then
Or, God forbid come visit me
I remember golden days
When all this was a mystery
And you could write a letter, then
Or, God forbid come visit me
If you find yourself without me
If you find yourself without me
Come on, find yourself without me
Come on, come on, come on
And take your Listerine
Listerine, Listerine
