Lyrics

Well the dawn is howling and the mainframe shakes
Feel like I've been sleeping in a cellar full of snakes
My wings have been clipped 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 qilling 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 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 my 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 have to make me do something that I do not want to do
But if you'll be my enemy I'll be your enemy too
My hands are tied I'm nailed to the floor
Feel like I'm knocking on the unknown door
There's a gun at my back a blade at my throat
I keep finding hate mail on the pockets of my coat
Well I've been trying to grow I have been cooling my heels
I've have been working the treadmill I've been working in the fields
And I can't get to sleep I can't catch my breath
I can't stop talking 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!
