He's full of righteous anger
Makes me bleed and then explains it later
I've become unlovable
I've become his entertainer

I can't quench his thirst
So weary of this dirty work
He's flying too close to the sun
Help me do what must be done

He's the smoke I am the fire
He gave me the gun and called me a liar
But I can't deny it
I shot down the dove to keep him quiet
Ah ah ah
I shot down the dove

He's one step behind me
Everywhere his watchful eyes will find me
Hypnotized by every word
Because voice struck me like lightning

He's the smoke I am the fire
He gave me the gun and called me a liar
But I can't deny it
I shot down the dove to keep him quiet
Ah ah ah
I shot down the dove

Waiting for his next command
While the world burns in his hands
Just another hit and run
I only do what must be done

He's the smoke I am the fire
He gave me the gun and called me a liar
But I can't deny it
I shot down the dove to keep him quiet
Ah ah ah
I shot down the dove
