Be My Enemy
Waterboys Mike Scott) and the mainframe shakes Well the dawn it is howlin' I feel like I've been sleepin' in a cellarful of snakes My wings have been clipped and my shoes have been stuck with glue Well if you'll be my enemy I'll be your enemy too thieves on my trail Now I've got goons on my landing Nazis on my telephone willing me to fail they were all sent by someone Obviously you! I'll be your enemy too Well if you'll be my enemy I've got a bucketful of Babylon I got a handful of lead I'm gonna put them in a gun man because you stole all my friends point it at your head and you gave me the buffalo blues I'll be your enemy too Well if you'll be my enemy Now from the slime on your tongue to the nails on your toes to the stains on your clothes from the scales on your skin you're gonna make me have to do somethin' that I do not want to do but if you will be my enemy I'll be your enemy too My hands are tied I'm nailed to the floor feel like I'm knockin' on the Unknown Door there's a gun at my back a blade at my throat I keep on findin' hate mail in the pockets of my coat Well I've been trying to grow I have been workin' in the fields I been coolin' my heels and I can't get to sleep I can't catch my breath I can't stop talkin' and I look like death! but I will put right this disgrace If you'll be my enemy I'll be your enemy too If you'll be my enemy I will rearrange you I'll be your enemy too Be my enemy |
