( Enemy song lyrics )
WHY ARE THEY SHOOTING AT ME?
Copyright © 2008 - MickTerry.com

6/8
Cruising off his left wing half a moment before I was noticed,
we maintained a tight formation into the night.
Cruising, not even testing, all my weapons were not even loaded.
We began to form- a bond of comrades in flight.

Each move he duplicated, then I mimicked each motion that he made:
friendly game of follow-the-leader, challenging skills.
Each move had generated trust destroyed when I now have to evade
all his friends who drop in from nowhere, shooting to kill.

    WHY ARE THEY SHOOTING AT ME?
    Just what do they hope to achieve?
    Only here to observe,
    now it's all dodge and swerve.
    WHY ARE THEY SHOOTING AT ME?

Plunging to the ocean, then I climb- up into the heavens.
Not too long before I have lost them so far behind.
Plunging back down towards them, I am eager to tease & to taunt them.
Will they realize my intentions are so benign?

    CHORUS

        What makes an enemy? What made an enemy here?
        What makes an enemy? Higher orders or hatred or fear?

Toying with their antics, I have not even fired off a weapon,
never shown them any aggression, no ill regard.
I am enjoying their going frantic as their sure hits all end in deflection.
When this game stops being such fun, I head for the stars.

    CHORUS
