Lyrics
Copyright © 2009 Jim Ferrie Music
Someone's in the shadows
Someone else is hiding behind the closed door
People say I'm paranoid
But I don't think I'm able to take any more
If I make my home a prison
If I board up all the windows and lock every door
Someone's gonna get to me
I don't think I'm able to live here no more
Here I am my back against the wall
Desperate for a friend to take my call
Could I believe them?
Someone's trying to kill me
I don't want to spend another hour on my own
Someone's trying to kill me
Is anybody there? come on and pick up the phone
Desperate situation
I sleep in the day and move on at night
I've cancelled my subscriptions
I'll change my name, disappear outta sight
I could use a friend now
Someone I could trust to help me escape
But is my friend the enemy?
Is it all sex, lies and videotape?
Here I am my back against the wall
Desperate for a friend to take my call
Could I believe them?
Someone's trying to kill me
I don't want to spend another hour on my own
Someone's trying to kill me
Is anybody there? come on and pick up the phone
FBI, CIA, SAS, IRA,
Red Brigade, someone paid a killer comin' from Belgrade
Someone straight, someone queer, poison in my pint of beer
It is all the same to me 'coz someone's tryin' to kill me!
Someone's trying to kill me
I don't want to spend another hour on my own
Someone's trying to kill me
Is anybody there?
