Friendly Fire |
An inspirational tirade against me |
How to explain my life? |
Boys to the left of me |
Girls to the right of me |
Neither husband nor wife |
Though the days are filled with pain |
There is no one who’ll explain |
Why I’m coming under friendly fire |
Shot in the fatal cause of rock 'n' roll |
But there’s nothing, really nothing, to say |
Why I endure under force majeure |
Slander without shame or tact |
I who studied make-up, mime and Buddha |
Who taught two generations to react |
About me the critics lied |
I ignored them and survived |
In spite of coming under friendly fire |
Shot in the fatal cause of of rock 'n' roll |
I have nothing, really nothing, to deny |
When I look back my eyes are filled with tears |
Danger to mascara, applause to my peers |
When fame sustained me and arenas acclaimed me |
I floated through life in a cloud |
Of love and insanity and pagan profanity |
Before a worshipping crowd |
Now my status is ill-defined |
As an icon I’m inclined |
To be coming under friendly fire |
Shot in the fatal cause of rock 'n' roll |
But whatever dull or clever points they’ve scored |
I have never, oh no never, been ignored |
