Enemy of the enemy 
Me, me 
Babylon is really burning this time 
My chick [bad word] home to roost on a Soviet airline 
Climbing on 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 
He's a friend 
Till he's the enemy again 

It was the enemy of the enemy 
The enemy of the enemy 
He's a friend 
Till he's the enemy again 

Enemy of the enemy, who? 
Enemy of the enemy, what? 
Enemy of the enemy, who? 
Enemy of the enemy, what? 
Enemy of the enemy, who? 
Enemy of the enemy, what? 
Enemy of the enemy 
Me, me 

Rig a dig Starin' out the window at 50,000 feet 
At the mercy of the skies, 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, you'd have to decide 

Who's the enemy of the enemy 
The enemy of the enemy 
He's a friend 
Till he's the enemy again 

Who's the enemy of the enemy 
The enemy of the enemy
He's a friend 
Till 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 

Choose the enemy, know the enemy 
Love the enemy, feed the enemy

Keep your friends close 
But keep your enemies closer 
Closer, closer, closer 

Keep your friends close 
But keep your enemies closer 
Closer, closer, closer 

This is easy, uh, they got a turban 
We don't have to know 
What's going on in the turban 
Just proceed with the story 

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 

Choose the enemy, know the enemy 
Love the enemy, feed the enemy

Keep your friends close 
But keep your enemies closer 
Closer, closer, closer 

Keep your friends close 
But keep your enemies closer 
Closer, closer, closer 

It was the enemy of the enemy
