friendly fire

we were partners in crime

spending our days

serving our time

in the usual way

we went behind the lines

to even the score

i won the battle but you won the war

i used to be a gun for hire

then i was killed by friendly fire

i used to be a real high flyer

then i was killed by friendly fire

a shot rang out

and knocked me flat

ain't no coming back from a lick like that

i never saw it coming

it came out of the blue

i never did believe my assassin would be you

i got the message down the wire

that i was killed by friendly fire

i used to be a gun for hire

then i was killed by friendly fire

we were partners in crime

spending our days

serving our time

in the usual way

we went behind the lines

to even the score

i won the battle but you won the war
