Necessary Evil Songtext

von Deborah Harry

"Necessary Evil"

I said I always wanted to take what you give
A hard metal hammered to a shape that you fit
When I beat up Miss Fortune, told her to get out
I sold the last things on eBay
I was without doubt
Caught between that hard-place
In over my head
Chewing off something in a trap
Quicksand in my bed

Necessary evil
Two arms, two legs
All present and counted
Walking on eggs
Necessary evil
Now don't disappear
Got a whiplash for a memory
I'm staying here

When love takes you prisoner there is no escape
But the secret ingredient is a knife in the cake
Some crime of wisdom put the light in my eyes
You could find me baby under the bridge of sighs

And I'm
Caught between that hard-place
In over my head
Chewing off something in a trap
Quicksand in my bed

Necessary evil
Nerves on an edge
Necessary evil
Powder in a keg
Necessary evil
You come, you go
Necessary evil
Oh yes, oh no

Sex in a can
Love in a jar
Airtight container just like a heart
Kept in a vacuum
Born in a barn
You're an artifical climate keeping me warm
A germfree bubble
No bugs allowed
Listening for the hum and crying out loud
Crying, crying out

Necessary evil
Two arms and two legs
All present and counted
Walking on eggs
Necessary evil
You come, you go
Necessary evil
Oh yes, oh no

Necessary evil
Oh yes, oh no

Necessary evil
Oh yes, oh no
