Dire Straits "News" lyrics

News

He sticks to his gunsHe take the road as it comesIt takes the shine off his shoesHe says it's a shameYou know it may be a gameAh but I won't play to lose

He's burning the grassHe take up a glassHe swallow it neatHe crosses the floorHe open the doorHe take a sniff of the street

And she tell him that he's crazyShe's a-saying hey babyI'm your wifeYeah she tell him that he's crazyFor gambling a-with his life

But he climbs on his horseYou know he feels no remorseHe just kicks it aliveHis motor is fineHe take it over the lineUntil he's ready to dive

And she tells him that he's crazyYes she's saying listen babyI'm your wifeYeah she tell him that he's crazyFor gambling with his life

He sticks to his gunsHe take the road as it comesIt takes the shine off his shoesHe says it's a shameYou know it may be a gameAh but I won't play to lose

He sticks to his gunsHe take the road as it comesIt takes the shine off his shoesHe's too fast to stopHe take it over the topHe make a line in the news
