Crime & The City Solution - The Adversary lyrics

rate me

You see me in a foreign face <br />

In ships that sink without trace <br />

In your father's doubt <br />

Will he praise or shout? <br />

<br />

Behind the burning cross <br />

Begrudged imagined loss <br />

When you run to me, run to me, run to me <br />

<br />

You try to fly, but you cannot fly <br />

You try to hide, but I'm by your side <br />

You run from me, run from me, run from me <br />

I am the adversary <br />

I am the adversary <br />

I am the adversary <br />

I am your foe <br />

I go where you go <br />

<br />

Between ideals and fact <br />

Between the thought and the act <br />

You sink without trace <br />

Grow to hate your face <br />

Will you sell all you own <br />

To sit in a shadow by a throne <br />

Will you run to me, run to me, run to me? <br />

<br />

You try to fly, but you cannot fly <br />

You try to hide, but I'm by your side <br />

You try to run from me, run from me, run from me <br />

I am the adversary <br />

I am the adversary <br />

I am the adversary <br />

I am your foe <br />

I go where you go <br />

<br />

You will see me behind every door <br />

You need not look for me at all <br />

To her I'm just another <br />

To her I am unknown <br />

<br />

On your shoulder her hands lightly rest <br />

As she lets fall her soft summer dress <br />

Without self-conciousness of floating off in sleep <br />

Without intention triumphs admid all defeat <br />

<br />

She moves in her own sheltered way <br />

My invisible hands are not at play <br />

To her I'm just another <br />

To her I am unknown <br />

<br />

From the cold snow into the water <br />

To her I'm just another <br />

To her I am unknown <br />

<br />

(Run from me, run from me, run from me) <br />

I am your foe <br />

I go where you go
