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
