Be my enemy lyrics

Artist  : Waterboys 
Song : Be my enemy
 
(Mike Scott) Well the dawn it is howlin' and the
mainframe shakes 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
Now I've got goons on my landing thieves on my
trail Nazis on my telephone willing me to fail
they were all sent by someone Obviously you! Well
if you'll be my enemy I'll be your enemy too I've
got a bucketful of Babylon I got a handful of
lead I'm gonna put them in a gun man point it at
your head because you stole all my friends and
you gave me the buffalo blues Well if you'll be
my enemy I'll be your enemy too Now from the
slime on your tongue to the nails on your toes
from the scales on your skin to the stains on
your clothes 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 been coolin' my heels I have
been workin' in the fields 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 I will rearrange you If
you'll be my enemy I'll be your enemy too If
you'll be my enemy I'll be your enemy too Be my
enemy!
