The Enemy

My heart gets lost like a message

My head is on the clouds

And I don’t get it

And so I’m fashionably numb

Sometimes it helps to forget

Where we come from

Out of the mire we were torn from

Remember

Out of the fire again

But I’m an ember

I hold a banner for you

But it’s upside down

You got a question or two

But I’m tongue tied now

Don’t try to follow me

I would

Hold you down if I could

Make you the enemy

I would

Let you down

I took a ride on the champagne

You took a flight over San Fran Bay

We washed misunderstood

Your heart was warm like a brother’s should

But then the gallow gave way

Sometimes they call after you

But you say

Don’t try to follow me

I would

Hold you down if I could

Make you the enemy

I would

Let you down

I hold you down

I hold you down

I hold you
