Sleep, some nights it just don't show when you push and life won't go
Your dreams get lost and your sorrows grow
You read and try to watch tv, take a drive out to the sea
You might break down, but you can't break free
Standin' in a crossfire, hangin' from a live wire
Reachin' for a lost smile, hidin' in the wind
Standin' in a crossfire, stranded on a high wire
Runnin' from a reason and lookin' for a friend
Dreams, your eyes are almost blind, they photograph your mind
And leave a trace of her love in time
Nights, you live the smoky past, tryin' to break the sell she cast
You start out first but you end up last
Standin' in a crossfire, hangin' from a live wire
Reachin' for a lost smile, hidin' in the wind
Standin' in a crossfire, stranded on a high wire
Runnin' from a reason and lookin' for a friend
Standin' in a crossfire, hangin' from a live wire
Reachin' for a lost smile, hidin' in the wind
Standin' in a crossfire, stranded on a high wire
Runnin' from a reason to fade
