Waterboys - Be My Enemy Lyrics

(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!
