Thompson

When you thought I was winning the game
You came and snuffed out the flame
You thought you finished me off but you just made me strong

Each time you dealt me a blow
Each time you brought me so low
I found something inside to help me along

My enemy, enemy
How I need my enemy
My enemy, enemy
How I need my enemy

Did I slight you in some little way
Or does hate help you get through the day ?
One way or another, I'm happy your aim was so true

If the demons in you hadn't jarred
I would never have struggled so hard
The only thing now eating me is what's eating you

My enemy, enemy
How I need my enemy
My enemy, enemy
How I need my enemy
My enemy, enemy
How I need my enemy
My enemy, enemy
How I need my enemy

Now we're just two old men on the brink
Each waiting for the other to blink
If I should lose you, I'd be left with nothing but fate

As I see your life fall apart
I should smile but I don't have the heart
At the end of the day, it's still too much effort to hate

My enemy, enemy
How I need my enemy
My enemy, enemy
How I need my enemy
