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
