Lyrics Under Fire - Roy Wood

Under Fire

Somebody’s watching me from over in the corner
I see them every time I go downtown
I don’t know what they want from me, I wish they’d go away
We’re very nice until we both fall down, down, down
The fill is growing, overflowing through the alleyways
Don’t give me any room to hide at all
This mental barricade has pinned me up against the wall
The light, it moves away and I fall down, down, down
I’m under fire and I’ll never get out
Just like a refugee, I know they’re after me
I’m under fire and I’ll never get out
They know me instantly, find an escape for me
Right now
My time is full, please, if they leave some indication
It won’t be easy when I run to ground
Though every now and then I often wish they’d go away
I’ll never sleep until they all fall down, down, down
I’m under fire and I’ll never get out
Just like a refugee, I know they’re after me
I’m under fire and I’ll never get out
They know me instantly, find an escape for me
Right now
At noon I can’t sit by, I’ll leave some information
They spy in good and never hear a sound
Their faces moved into the glass inside their limousine
Only they can see me goin' down, down, down, down, down
I’m under fire and I’ll never get out
Just like a refugee, I know they’re after me
I’m under fire and I’ll never get out
They know me instantly, find an escape for me
Right now
I’m under fire and I’ll never get out
Just like a refugee, I know they’re after me
I’m under fire and I’ll never get out
They know me instantly, find an escape for me
I know they’re after me right now
(I'm under fire and I’ll never get out)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, they’re coming after me
(I'm under fire, fire, and I’ll never get out)
Ooh ooh, oh no no no no
(tuo teg reven ll’I dna, erif, erif rednu m’I)
Ooh ooh ooh
