Down the Wire Songtext
von Glenn Hughes

I was talking to my doctor, I said "Can you ease my mind?
I′ve been feelin' kinda empty, I don′t know what you'd find"
He said "Son, you better listen! Listen to me well!
It takes some little advice, so what I got to tell:
You can drink water, you can drink wine
You're gonna take the trip, you′re gonna cross the line
Call me on my number, call me any time
And I′ll fill your prescription, and you will be just fine"

I don't want no guarantee, and I don′t want no bill
Some good old fashioned chemistry is bound to kill my ill
To kill my ill

Now I got the strangest fever, and I want to put avoid
Now I've got a burning question: Will I make it through the night?
Now you can be my jailer, now you can be my guide
You can walk across the water, till you reach the other side

And albeit undercover, don′t you understand
I'll be your only lover, your wish is my command, is my command

Don′t need no big production, don't need no clothes to wear
Just give me satisfaction, and I will be right there


Down the wire, tell me what you need
Down the wire, you can make believe
Down the wire, you can talk to me
Down the wire, let your mind be free

Oh, down the wire.

I don't need no fortune teller lookin′ down on me
I don′t need no gypsy woman to bring no curse on me
I just need communication, dear doctor, can't you see?
I just need that sacred potion to soothe what′s into me

I don't want no guarantee, and I don′t want no bill
Some good old fashioned chemistry is bound to kill my ill
To kill my ill

Don't take my sale for granted, now won′t you hear my plea
Now can't you see, I'm branded, for all the world to see

Down the wire, tell me what you need
Down the wire, you can make believe
Down the wire, you can talk to me
Down the wire, let your mind be free

Down the wire, tell me what you need
Down the wire, you can make believe
Down the wire, you can talk to me
Down the wire, let your mind be free


Yeah
Down the wire
Yeah
Down the wire
