[Intro]
Hi
[Verse 1]
It was the best of times
It was the worst of times
I had to kill the new sheriff in town
She was gonna try to keep me
You go-go down, you go-go down
In a dream you will never be down
Somehow, somehow
Another way to make the picture clearer
Point a gun at the mirror
Heart's so dark, make dirt look clean
So clean, so clean
Don't kick, don't scream
But at the end I can only be
No rhyme, no reason
Be not afraid, be not afraid
Be not
[Chorus]
You are my bitter rival
But I need you for survival
You are my bitter rival
But I need you for survival
You are my bitter rival
But I need you for survival
You are my bitter rival
But I need you for survival
[Verse 2]
It was the best of times
It was the worst of times
I had to kill the new sheriff in town
She was gonna try to keep me
You go-go down, you go-go down
In a dream you will never be down
Somehow, somehow
Lay a hand on me, lay a hand on you
Lay a hand on me, lay a hand
Heart's so dark, make dirt look clean
So clean, so clean
Catholics, convicts
East to West, the answer is yes
No rhyme, no reason
Be not afraid, be not afraid
Be not
[Chorus]
You are my bitter rival
But I need you for survival
You are my bitter rival
But I need you for survival
You are my bitter rival
But I need you for survival
You are my bitter rival
But I need you for survival
