Friendly Fire - Reigning Days

It’s all you ever asked for,

heaven on the avenue.

Your name is on the pavement,

But everybody walks on by.

You do yourself a favour,

But no one stops to ask you why.

I come down you lock me up in the pretty row of silver screens,

and pull me underneath the circus freaks and beauty queens.

You put your faith in a pretty liar,

You’ll take a walk in the friendly fire with me.

You dance around your bunker,

Living in your Sunday best.

You jumped the ship that sunk ya,

But you forgot to wear a vest.

You’re floating in the court yard,

The promise of a wedding dress.

You’re jumping off the platform,

The tracks will only leave me there.

I come down you lock me up in the pretty row of silver screens,

and pull me underneath the circus freaks and beauty queens.

You put your faith in a pretty liar,

You’ll take a walk in the friendly fire with me.

You put your faith in a pretty liar,

You’ll take a walk in the friendly fire with me.

(Guitar Solo)

You put your faith in a pretty liar,

You’ll take a walk in the friendly fire with me.
