Thompson When you thought I was winning the game You came and snuffed out the flame You thought you finished me off but you just made me strong. Each time you dealt me a blow Each time you brought me so low I found something inside to help me along. My enemy, enemy How I need my enemy My enemy, enemy How I need my enemy. Did I slight you in some little way Or does hate help you get through the day ? One way or another, I'm happy your aim was so true. If the demons in you hadn't jarred I would never have struggled so hard The only thing now eating me is what's eating you. My enemy, enemy How I need my enemy My enemy, enemy How I need my enemy. My enemy, enemy How I need my enemy My enemy, enemy How I need my enemy. Now we're just two old men on the brink Each waiting for the other to blink If I should lose you, I'd be left with nothing but fate. As I see your life fall apart I should smile but I don't have the heart At the end of the day, it's still too much effort to hate. My enemy, enemy How I need my enemy My enemy, enemy How I need my enemy.
