Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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.
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Lovin' me could be
Your fatal flaw
Just hangin' in here
Tryin' to be your
Necessary evil
Necessary evil
[Verse 4]
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
That looked like a angel
She hit a blunt
But it would not chill her out at all
We're in love
She don't get what I see in her
[Verse 5]
Lovin' me could be
Your fatal flaw
Just hangin' in here
Tryin' to be your
Necessary evil
Necessary evil
[Verse 6]
Lovin' me could be
Your fatal flaw
Just hangin' in here
Tryin' to be your
Necessary evil
Necessary evil
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Lovin' me could be
Your fatal flaw
Just hangin' in here
Tryin' to be your
Necessary evil
Necessary evil
Lovin' me could be
Your fatal flaw
Just hangin' in here
Tryin' to be your
[Verse 9]
Necessary evil
