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.
Transform into the animal you need to
Fly from a destiny infested with chemicals
You need a new drug not invented by the C.I.A
I wanna be your friend but don’t have the self-control
We’re in love
But I don’t get what you see in me
Lovin' me could be your fatal flaw
Just hangin in here trying to be your
Necessary evil, necessary evil
Nobody can get a tan in the moonlight
Come on inside tell me is it just a bit too much?
He drooled on a pillow and looked like an angel
She hit a blunt but it would not chill her out at all
We’re in love
But she don’t get what I see in her
Lovin' me could be your fatal flaw
Just hangin in here trying to be your
Necessary evil, necessary evil
Lovin' me could be your fatal flaw
Just hangin in here trying to be your
Necessary evil, necessary evil
Transform into the animal you need to
Fly from a destiny infested with chemicals
You need a new drug not invented by the C.I.A
I wanna be your friend but don’t have the self-control
We’re in love
But I don’t get what you see in me
Lovin' me could be your fatal flaw
Just hangin in here trying to be your
Necessary evil, necessary evil
Lovin' me could be your fatal flaw
Just hangin in here trying to be your
Necessary evil, necessary evil
