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
