Bellamy Brothers

(Jerry Careaga & Dick Holler)
Sleep, some nights it just don't show
When you've pushed 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 and 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
Try to break the spell 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 and 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
Crossfire, live wire...
