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 twords the gun      Again how he ran   From the badge he had no chance to understand   Oh how he ran      Chorus:   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 passed   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      Chorus
