Lyrics

Best In Me

Titania's fritillary
Camouflaged looper
Scarce chocolate tip
Coxcomb prominent
Northern apple sphinx
Lettuce shark
Poplar kitten

You bring out the best in me
So I can function as I want to be, because
You bring out the best in me
So I'll be cancelling my killing spree

Small ranunculus
Honey suckle bee
Hawk moth
Yellow spot jewel
Chryxis, Arctic
Pygmy, Hermit
Tawny prominent
American dagger

You bring out the best in me
So I can function as I want to be, because
You bring out the best in me
So I'll be cancelling my killing spree

You bring out the best in me
So I can function as I want to be, because
You bring out the best in me
So I'll be cancelling my killing spree

You bring out the best in me
So I can function as I want to be, because
You bring out the best in me
So I'll be cancelling my killing spree
