Backfire
“Backfire” is a song about false friends. How often did you wish that their deeds and words fire back to them?
You wasted my precious time
on spreading rumours and lies
Shooting me in a drive-by
drawing me into rip tide
I’ll catch this ricochet
I gonna… misbehave and disobey,
I wanna…
Watch how burn your fingers and…
build a castle on quicksand
or wade through wasted land
(Of course I wanna…)
Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back
And again and again and again
That’s what you make me do!
So I light up a light
To escape from the twilight
Not ready for the limelight
Not ready to start a fight
I’ll catch this ricochet
I gonna… misbehave and disobey!
Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back
And again and again and again
That’s what you make me do!
That’s what you make me do!
One day, I gonna be tough
give way for vengeance and grudge
I’ll push you into the sludge
Where there is noone to judge
And I wanna…
Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back
And again and again and again
That’s what you make me do!
That’s what you made me do!
