ULTRAVOX - CUT AND RUN Lyrics

See the man on the phone with a gun in his handSipping courage from a crystal cupHe's a man in a room with a gun at his headPressures on him now it's time to cut and runTime passing so slowlyStill as he sits and he watchesThe sand slip through his handsHe demands something moreSomething strongSomething savage and pureOne more twist of the knifeAnd it's time to cut and runSee the man on the phone with a gun in his handSipping courage from a crystal cupHe's a man in a room with a gun at his headPressure's on him now it's time to cut and runHe smilesAs he draws on his last cigaretteAnd he tries to forget all that forces every moveHe commands something newSomething strongSomething spiteful and trueOne more twist of the knifeAnd it's time to cut and runHe cries on his tapeSo they might understandSigns his farewellWith a squeeze of his handSee the man on the phone with a gun in his handSipping courage from a crystal cupHe's a man in a room with a gun at his headPressure's on him now it's time to cut and runSee the man on the phone with a gun in his handSipping courage from a crystal cupHe's a man in a room with a gun at his headPressure's on him now it's time to cut and runSee the man on the phone with a gun in his handSipping courage from a crystal cupHe's a man in a room with a gun at his headPressure's on him now it's time to cut and runSee the man on the phone with a gun in his handSipping courage from a crystal cupHe's a man in a room with a gun at his headPressure's on him now it's time to cut and run
