Son Volt - Down to the Wire lyrics
rate meWake up to the Biddle Street blues<br />
Can't shake the news<br />
All the way to the big dome<br />
They're trying<br />
<br />
The intrigues of the new royalty<br />
And the believers<br />
In the afterlife<br />
Share the same gamblers pages<br />
<br />
Cobblestone streets saw 3 sovereign flags<br />
As they raised their glasses to conquest and nation<br />
Still pawns playing out the legacy<br />
Of long dead industry titans and haters of men<br />
<br />
Feeling down to the wire<br />
Feeling down to the wire<br />
<br />
Plastic grocery bags fly from trees<br />
Proud symbols of a cavalier progress<br />
Memories and landscapes in triage<br />
Disappearing averages, permanent changes<br />
<br />
No jury will have a final say<br />
Everyone knows the jury is guilty<br />
Faced with no plan at all<br />
Just to trick a smile out of the moment<br />
<br />
Feeling down to the wire<br />
Feeling down to the wire<br />
<br />
Feeling down to the wire<br />
Feeling down to the wire<br /><br />
