Paul Cotton)



Have you heard about the ones who can't get to sleep at night

Walking through their shoes in the neon light

There's a strain in their faces from the wind and the sand

Of the far away places where they had to make a stand



On their way down, on their way down, on their way down, down to the wire



They were talking in the news, of a run about to be made

It would come when they cut it loose, from the plan they lay

On some future night, when the talk is low

They agree it's right and Lord it's time to go



On their way down, on their way down, on their way down, down to the wire



(Solo)



Deep in the still of night (on their way down)

They'll be movin' across the line (on their way down)

On their way down, down to the wire



On their way down (deep in the still of night)

On their way down (they'll be movin' across the line)

On their way down, down to the wire
