[Verse 1]
He's full of righteous anger
Makes me bleed and then explains it later
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I've become unlovable
I have become his entertainer
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't quench his thirst
So weary of his dirty work
He's flying too close to the sun
Oh, help me do what must be done
[Chorus]
He's the smoke, I am the fire
He gave me the gun and called me a liar
Ooh-ooh-ooh, but I can't deny it
I shot down the dove to keep him quiet
[Post-Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I shot down the dove
[Verse 2]
He's one step behind me
Everywhere, his watchful eyes will find me
Ooh-ooh-ooh, hypnotized by every word
Because his voice struck me like lightning
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
He's the smoke, I am the fire
He gave me the gun and called me a liar
Ooh-ooh-ooh, but I can't deny it
No, I shot down the dove to keep him quiet
[Post-Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I shot down the dove
[Bridge]
Waiting for his next command
While the world burns in his hands
Just another hit and run
I only do what must be done
[Chorus]
He's the smoke, I am the fire
He gave me the gun and called me a liar
Ahh-ahh-ahh, but I can't deny it
No, I shot down the dove to keep him quiet
[Post-Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I shot down the dove
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I shot down the dove
Ooh-ooh-ooh
