Friendly Fire

I don't want to hear another word from you now
I'd rather be wrong
Life is mostly what you don't see anyway
So just look away
But our shadows never leave us alone
Down the bad roads they will follow us faithfully home
You launched the assault with the first cannon ball
My soldiers were sleeping
I know that you thought it would never come down
Down to the wire
It's friendly fire
In your room filled with the things that you've never done
Does anyone really care
Your shadow just won't leave you alone
Cause he knows well he knows what you've done
You launched the assault with the first cannon ball
My soldiers were sleeping
I know that you thought it could never come down
Down to the wire
It's friendly fire
Waves don't wander when you're drowning under the sea
So don't look for me
Finder keeps her, loser deserts you in the end
You were my friend
Like your shadow no one knows you as well as I do
You launched the assault with the first cannon ball
My soldiers were sleeping
I know that you thought it would never come down
Down to the ground
Cos I was so tired
then i get down
down to the wire
It's friendly fire
