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 |
