Testo di Down To The Wire

Well he sits at the light and he hides 'hind his shades And he thinks about Thursday The plans that he made At the office where muzak continually played And nothing much ever got done... Then finally it's Friday the rush and the noise He ritually begs off a drink with the boys 'Cause he's not one of them And he don't have a choice Not once the feeling's begun... Now it's down to the wire He needs something to put out the fire Of desire...it's got him on the run on the run... Well he's drawn to the city like magnet to steel And it's just 'round the corner Where everything's real And corners forever ain't that big a deal Which one he starts with tonight And with stars in his eyes, wind in his hair He goes looking for someone who might really care At least they'll pretend to at least they'll be there And sometimes that works out all right... Now it's down to the wire He needs something to put out the fire Of desire...it's got him on the run got him on the run... And the corner's alive with the sounds of the night He's pulled back the fabric that covers them tight Boys in black leather, girls oh so white Lovers that stand on the ledge... And now to be with them, at one with the street Where you bow to the rhythm or fall to the beat It seems so romantic, it seems so complete At least from out here on the edge... Now it's down to the wire He needs something to put out the fire Of desire...it's got him on the run ooh, on the run... Getting down to the wire got him on the run ooh, baby, desire it's got him on the run... Running from desire got him on the run...
