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 [Lyrics: brecht]
