Down to the Wire

Must be hard to be the smartest guy you’ll ever know
Can’t be fun to be too dumb to just let that go
Give what you oughta take
Push when you oughta pull away
Soldier on for the sake
Of a love that will leave you worn and frayed

Down down down to the wire
Down down down to the blue of the fire
Down down down to the wire
Baby down

Phones are ringing but the birds are weighing down the lines
Your eyes are blinking but mind has flown a million miles
Hide what you oughta seek
Cry when you oughta show your teeth
Say what you wanna hear
Fall like a warning on deaf ears

Down down down to the wire
Down down down to the blue of the fire
Down down down to the wire
Baby down

Of course it’s been fun
But this course has been run
Now you’re standing ground
That is holding you down

Down down down to the wire
Down down down to the blue of the fire
Down down down to the wire
Baby down down down to the wire
Down down down to the blue of the fire
Down down down to the wire
Baby down
