Arms of the Enemy

The Tubes


Take a look in the mirror 
what do you see 
staring back at the lines of life 
so wishfully 
Could it be any clearer 
who earned the pain 
Everytime that you ask the price 
you'll have to pay 

How many lies do I tell myself 
so I won't go back 

Back to the arms of the enemy 
Back to be held by the demons of my soul 
Back to the arms of the--arms of the enemy 

Could be cursed to repeat 
the same mistake 
Wandering through a blinding fog 
that never fades 

Knew it wouldn't be easy 
to bend the bars 
Better off than a homeless dog 
but not by far 

How many lies do I tell myself 
so I won't go back 

Back to the arms of the enemy 
Back to be held by the demons of my soul 
Back to the arms of the enemy 
Back to the bosom of my baby 
and someone to hold 

I'm the last one to yell,
