You are all self-defense

When the sun is out and shining             
your meanings are less dense                 
but when the moon is nearly full            
you are all self-defence

                          
you strive to keep your dignity 

while I try to enhance it                    
you seem to think the best way is      
to never ever even chance it

             
well I like living on the edge 

while you walk the straight and narrow 

you toe the line you drew yourself
in hope to stave off sorrow

you say you feel safe and secure

and I can well believe it

even if your world proved false

you'd still try to retrieve it

sometimes I'm weak with longing but

you're always strong with will

you say you've got a hunch I'm cruel

and yes, if I had to, I'd kill

repeat first verse
