The Wires Are Down Lyrics - Blue Nile

The Wires are Down 

The wires are down 

The wires are down 

Nothing works here anymore 

The road is so quiet now 

The day was all blue and broken 

When I held you I was strong 

But I held you too long 

I look at the coloured lights, yeah 

Breaking the good hearts down 

I shout in the dying light 

I get out of shanty town 

The sun going down 

The cars leaving, one by one 

Dusty roads and radio 

Swinging so high and so low 

I look at the coloured lights, yeah 

Breaking the good hearts down 

I shout at the dying light 

I get out of shanty town 

The wires are down 

The wires are down 

You and I don't really count 

Even the wires are down 

Look at the coloured lights, yeah 

Breaking the good hearts down 

Shout at the dying light 

Get out of shanty town 

Look at the wrong and right, yeah 

Breaking the good hearts down 

Shout in the dying light 

I can't get out of shanty town, 

Let's go
