The Only Enemy
Radiolatte, 2005
KEY G

Esteemed speakers, reasoned in secrets
Elevators plush rugs
Lies lacquered, recorded backwards
Cocaine and cognac and a rub and a tug

Strange favours, asked and then persuaded
All muscled and tongued
Assbackwards but poised like actors
Like the best kung-fu overdubbed, well..

The only enemy is time
(Tick tock time is the master)
The only enemy is time
(Time flies and only gets faster)

Colours or quizzes which are you after?
Esthetically pleasing or little abstractions of disaster?
The who, what, where and why, that’s what Im after
To get to the studs I need to cut through the plaster, no..

The only enemy is time
(Tick tock time is the master)
No the only enemy is time
(Time flies and only gets faster)
Cover up your watches no more sunshine
(Tick tock time is the master)
No. the only enemy is time
(Time drinks and lies like a bastard)

(bridge) But, if it would just standstill Id get a clean shot thrice
One in the chest and one in each eye
Ive got the time, so ive gotta try

(G – Head-Intro)

The only enemy is time
(Tick tock time is the master)
Murder the minutes so the hours can’t fly
(Time flies and only gets faster)
Uncover your windows now its time
(Tick tock time is the master)
No the only enemy is time
(Time drinks and lies like a bastard)
