Robin Trower - Under The Gun lyrics

There's a stranger staring back And you in the mirror Guessed that you're a man on the run There's a ghost from the past Looking over your shoulder Your chance to escape is a million to one But your eyes are on the future But your back's against the wall You're walking on a tightrope Watch you don't fall [Chorus:] Coz its down to the wire Time to deliver The hang tough When you're under the gun Your rhythm and a fire There's a hand on the trigger Nowhere to run When you're under the gun You were captain of the ship And master of the game Anything you want it to be Oh but then the rules got changed And the ship went up in flames And you found yourself Lost out at sea You've been counted out of action Scattered in the wind Are you walking on water Coming back again? Repeat Chorus then solo You've been counted... [Chorus]
