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 the crossfire, hangin' from a live wire
Reachin' for a lost smile and hidin' in the wind
Standin' in the 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
And nights, you live the smokey past
Try to break the spell she cast
You start out first but you end up last

Standin' in the crossfire, hangin' from a live wire
Reachin' for a lost smile and hidin' in the wind
Standin' in the crossfire, stranded on a high wire
Runnin' from a reason and lookin' for a friend

Oh, crossfire
Ah, live wire

Standin' in the crossfire (crossfire), hangin' from a live wire
Reachin' for a lost smile and hidin' in the wind (hidin' in the wind)
Standin' in the crossfire (crossfire), stranded on a high wire (high wire)
Runnin' from a reason and lookin' for a friend

Looking for a friend
Crossfire (crossfire)
Live wire
