Lowdown - Wire

The time is too short, But never too long

To reach ahead, to project the image

Which will in time become a concrete dream

Another cigarette, another day

From A to B, again avoiding C, D, and E

'Cause E’s where you play the blues

Avoiding a death is to win the game

To avoid delegation, the big E

Drowning in the big swim, rising to the surface

The smell of you

That’s the lowdown

That’s the lowdown

Drowning in the big swim, rising to the surface

The smell of you

That’s the lowdown
