Lyrics One Step Too Far - Dave Stewart

One Step Too Far

The old church bell rings
And starlings flap their wings
Against the sun
I’m running through
The dirty streets
Looking back, I turn
To shoot my gun
I almost made it
To the getaway car
But it was just one step too far
So I’m left here
With a pack of wolves
Trying to explain
What just went down
I was mentioning Robin Hood
He’s not known in the
Neighbourhood or town
And when I talked about
Little John in the bar
That’s when I think I went
One step too far
I saw my life flash in front of me
That’s not an easy thing to see
Later in the prison cell
I’m so happy to be there
I don’t mind they took my clothes
Broke my nose, and cut my hair
But as I’m holding on to this iron bar
I’m wondering, did I take one step too far?
And I saw my life
Flash in front of me
That’s not an easy thing to see
I saw my life flash in front of me
That’s not an easy thing to see
One step too far
One step too far
One step too far
