He was just a lonely kid No matter what he did Was never recognised Then you came along Was the second son So special in their eyes Oh how he ran To the city where his dreams would turn to man Oh how he ran So he lived his life alone Where he lay was home Then they made him move along From town to town With his head held down Then he turned towards the gun Again how he ran From the badge he had no chance to understand Oh how he ran Don't cut the wire, cos he really needs you now Don't cut the wire, in the final hour When it comes to the rest, you were always the best Brother don't you cut the wire Many years have pa**ed But behind the mask He always thought of you Now with a gun in hand It's his final stand Your brother needs you too He knows how he ran From the child he was Then later from the man Oh how he ran Don't cut the wire, cos he really needs you now Don't cut the wire, in the final hour When it comes to the rest, you were always the best Brother don't you cut the wire
