We were kids on a playground
Lying on a merry-go-round
Watching as the clouds go by
In a pale blue sky
Mama had a plastic smile
And daddy had a disease
Daddy had fists like hammers
He was so unhappy
He wants to be my, be my enemy
Be my, my loving enemy
Be my enemy, my loving enemy
I wound up here one by one
Blinded by the velvet sun
Wouldn't it be nice, to be nice for just one day
I came home to two dogs fighting
Loving, kicking, screaming, crying
It was my neighbor's wife, with a kitchen knife
Screaming hate me
Screaming hate you
You want to be my enemy
I'll be your enemy too
You want to be my, be my enemy
Be my, my loving enemy
Be my enemy, my loving enemy
This is were I shed my skin
This is were I shed my skin
Where lightning strikes me
Again and again and again and again
But now I'm sitting in a cage
I'm staring at this vacant page
I'm telling you stories of war
My mother, she would never go
My father loved to beat her slow
My brother's hate, it just grows
His hate just grows
This is were I shed my skin
This is were I shed my skin
You want to be my, be my enemy
Be my, my loving enemy
Be my enemy, my loving enemy
You want to be my, be my enemy
Be my, my loving enemy
Where lightning strikes me
Again and again and again and again
This is were I shed my skin
This is were I shed my skin
This is were I shed my skin
My loving enemy, you are
