Side-by-side on a wire like sparrows The motorcade passes by as if we're all lost Pave the roads on the backs of the beggars Suffer the wounds of trials come and gone slow Lay down when I turn off the lights, Lay down when I turn off the lights, lay down. Side-by-side on a wire like sparrows You can trace our steps back But where will they go All of my plans on borrowed time Borrowed time waiting on…on this old soul Lay down when I turn off the lights, Lay down when I turn off the lights, lay down. Lay down.
