Enemy of the Enemy is a Friend (Til he's the enemy again)   Babylon is really burning this time   coming home to roost on a Soviet landmine   Climbing out the subway burning eyes spinning head   Walking through the. station breaking into a cold sweat   Is the ticking time bomb in my head or your bag   Have you been snorting white lines with President Gas   Crawling from the wreckage of my tumblin' tower block   Someone else had to finish the job   It was the enemy of the enemy    The enemy of the enemy    The enemy of the enemy    He's a friend   Til he's the enemy again   Starin' out the window at 50 000 feet   At the mercy of the skies there's no escape velocity   And as your eyes meet my skin see the terror on your face   Do You want it to stop put yourself in their place   Where what your life is worth depends on where you live   Too many generations down the line to forgive   If all you knew was total war from every side   You'd have to decide   Who's the enemy of the enemy    The enemy of the enemy   Who's the enemy of the enemy   He's a friend    til he's the enemy again   Choose the enemy   Know the enemy   Love the enemy    Feed the enemy   Sleep with the enemy   Arm the enemy   Sell the enemy   Bomb the enemy   Keep your friends close    Keep your enemies closer
