Lyrics: Best of me

Drop those flowers - back away slowly
You jumped in thinking this was holy water
Well surprise surprise
This is not a test
Welcome to the party
I've been on my best behaviour but I think it's time
You saw the other side

I'm a tough tough game that no one can master
I'm a tall tale no one believes
I'm a long dark night with no morning after
Lucky you
You get the best of me

Brand new day - honeymoon's over
Peace and quiet puts me in a coma anyway
It's just a waste of time
This is not a dream
Do you get the picture
I know I may seem peculiar
Baby gimme time
'Cause when I hit my stride

I'm a tough tough game that no one can master
I'm a tall tale no one believes
I'm a long dark night with no morning after
Lucky you
You get the best of me

I'm a tough tough game that no one can master
I'm a tall tale no one believes
I'm a long dark night with no morning after
I'm a thundercloud when you're out at sea
And if you try to run
Baby I can run faster
Lucky you
You get the best of me
