He was just a lonely kid

No matter what he did

Was never recognized

Then you came along

Was the second son

So special in their eyes



On how he ran

To the city where his dreams would turn to man

Oh how he ran



So he lived his life alone

Where he lay was home

Then they made him move along

From town to town

With his head held down

Then he turned towards the gun



Again how he ran

From the badge he had no chance to understand

Oh how he ran



{chorus}

Don't cut the wire, cos he rally needs you now

Don't cut the wire, in the final hour

When it comes to the rest, you were always the best

Brother don't you cut the wire



Many years have passed

But behind the mask

He always thought of you

Now with a gun in hand

It's his final stand

Your brother needs you too



He knows how he ran

From the child he was

Then later from the man

Oh how he ran



{chorus}
