"Firing Squad" lyrics

"Firing Squad"

Early morning rain crashing upon
My rooftop and my brain
Woke up in my clothes
Feeling like I'm insane
The hours pass like days
Like days

And now you're on the firing squad
I throw my hands up, I surrender
I don't want to be a fraud
I don't want to be the pretender
And I was like a lightening rod
I was always your defender
We were both right and wrong
I throw my hands up, I surrender

I see your eyes, hear your voice
Outside my window
Calling for me in a time of trouble
And you know I'd be there
Yes you know I'd be there

And now you're on the firing squad
I throw my hands up, I surrender
I don't want to be a fraud
I don't want to be the pretender
And I was like a lightening rod
I was always your defender
We were both right and wrong
I throw my hands up, I surrender

And I stand
And I watch
As the streetcar's rolling
As the wind is blowing
And there's no way of knowing now

And now you're on the firing squad
I throw my hands up, I surrender
I don't want to be a fraud
I don't want to be the pretender
And I was like a lightening rod
I was always your defender
We were both right and wrong
I throw my hands up, I surrender
