Well the dawn it is howlin'
and the main frame shakes
I feel like I've been sleeping 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

I've got goons on my landing
thieves on my trail
nazis on my telephone
willing me to fail
They were all sent by somebody
Obviously you !
If you'll be my enemy
I'll be your enemy too

I've got a bucketful of Babylon
I've got a handful of lead
I'm gonna put them in a gun, man
and point it at your head
because you stole all of my friends and you
gave me the buffalo blues
If you'll be my enemy
I'll be your enemy too

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 something
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
I feel like I'm knocking
on the unknown door
A gun at my back
a blade at my throat
I keep on finding hate mail
in the pockets of my coat
I've been trying to grow
I've been cooling my heels
I've been working in the city
I've been working in the fields
And I can't get to sleep
and 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 !
'cause 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 !
