The Dove

[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
