Down to the Wire
when it comes down to the wire
no one will help, every man for himself
when it comes down t the wire
you have to do what you can for yourself
there's a contract out on me
now there's no safe place to be
i'm on the run all day and night
laying low, staying out of sight
i'm not sure if i can take it
i don't know if i can make it
all the money in the world
can't buy a true friend
when it comes down,
down to the wire!
when it comes down,
down to the wire!
i'm so tired, but i don't dare go to sleep
how did i get in so deep?
i learned something
that i'd rather not know
maybe i could make it down to mexico
i know way more than i'd like to admit
and they know i know, that's why the hit
it's the not knowing when that i really dread
they'll be after me until i'm dead
when it comes
down to the wire
no one will help,
every man for himself
when it comes
down t the wire you
have to do what you
can for yourself
can't go to work, i can't go home
gotta face it, i'm alone
hiding behind every bush and tree
may be someone waiting for me
it could be someone that i know
can't think of a worse way to go
could even be a good friend they hire
when it comes down to the wire
when it comes down,
down to the wire!
when it comes down,
down to the wire!
no one will help, every man for himself
when it comes down t the wire
you have to do what you can for yourself
there's a contract out on me
now there's no safe place to be
i'm on the run all day and night
laying low, staying out of sight
i'm not sure if i can take it
i don't know if i can make it
all the money in the world
can't buy a true friend
when it comes down,
down to the wire!
when it comes down,
down to the wire!
i'm so tired, but i don't dare go to sleep
how did i get in so deep?
i learned something
that i'd rather not know
maybe i could make it down to mexico
i know way more than i'd like to admit
and they know i know, that's why the hit
it's the not knowing when that i really dread
they'll be after me until i'm dead
when it comes
down to the wire
no one will help,
every man for himself
when it comes
down t the wire you
have to do what you
can for yourself
can't go to work, i can't go home
gotta face it, i'm alone
hiding behind every bush and tree
may be someone waiting for me
it could be someone that i know
can't think of a worse way to go
could even be a good friend they hire
when it comes down to the wire
when it comes down,
down to the wire!
when it comes down,
down to the wire!
