Acorn - Crossed Wires lyrics

All you wanted was a way To keep your head above the waves And keep those bay street wolves at bay Oh, but you will never get to be One of the unhunted And all they want is your good name But you can't hide republic shame And you can't graveyard shift the blame Oh, and it is coming like a dark bora Tearing up at the adriatic I wonder what it's called When nothings what you get But you gave everything So when there's nowhere left to hide And time it isn't on your side There is one thing you haven't tried... Oh, and it is coming on the slipstream It is coming on the changing tide If you learn anything You have to learn to walk the fire You need to know to play both sides You've got to try to cross the wires Spark's gonna rain on us
