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 yourselfthere'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 sighti'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 friendwhen 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 deadwhen 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 wirewhen it comes down,
down to the wire!
when it comes down,
down to the wire!
