Lyrics

Am I the Best Thing
Am I the Best Thing

Like the moon
Your face has no rival
Like the sun
Your beauty shines through the day
I'm the king of nothing crucial
I'm the prince of mediocrity
So I sit here with the court jester
Thinking I would rather be with you
But the words and the romance fail me
So I will lie and tell you why
I know my love is true

Am I the Best Thing
Am I the Best Thing
Am I the Best Thing
Am I the Best Thing
That you've ever seen

So here it is
Like cards on the table
There it goes
Like water down a drain
Until you're drowning
In a flood of the obvious
And waiting
For the promise of relief

Am I the Best Thing
Am I the Best Thing
(Could I be the best thing)
Am I the Best Thing
Am I the Best Thing
You've ever seen

I'm feeling better are you feeling for me?
I'm scratching for gold in the concrete
Seeking my nobility

And I say
Am I the Best Thing
Am I the Best Thing

Like the moon
You face has no rival
Like the sun
Your beauty shines through the day
I'm the king of nothing crucial
I'm the prince of mediocrity

Am I the Best Thing
Am I the Best Thing
Am I the Best Thing

Am I the Best Thing
That you have ever seen?
