(Downes/Payne)
He was just a lonely kid
No matter what he did
Was never recognised
Then you came along
Was the second son
So special in their eyes
Oh how he ran
To the city where his dreams would turn to man
Oh how he ran
So he lived his life alone
Where he lay was home
Then they made him move along
From town to town
With his head held down
Then he turned towards the gun
Again how he ran
From the badge he had no chance to understand
Oh how he ran
[Chorus:]
Don't cut the wire, cos he really needs you now
Don't cut the wire, in the final hour
When it comes to the rest, you were always the best
Brother don't you cut the wire
Many years have passed
But behind the mask
He always thought of you
Now with a gun in hand
It's his final stand
Your brother needs you too
He knows how he ran
From the child he was
Then later from the man
Oh how he ran
[Chorus]

Asia è un supergruppo formatosi nel 1981 da membri di gruppi leggendari come Yes, King Crimson, Emerson Lake and Palmer e Uriah Heep. Il nucleo originale comprendeva Geoff Downes (tastiere), John Wetton (basso, voce), Steve Howe (chitarra) e Carl Palmer (batteria). Nel corso degli anni la formazione ha subito diverse variazioni, con l'ingresso di altri musicisti di spicco. Sebbene non abbiano raggiunto lo stesso livello di fama critica dei gruppi da cui provenivano i membri, Asia vanta una base di fan fedele che apprezzano il loro stile musicale caratterizzato da un mix di AOR (Adult Oriented Rock) e progressivo. Tra le canzoni più rappresentative si ricordano 'Heat of the Moment', 'Only Time Will Tell' e 'Separate but Whole'. L'album di debutto omonimo del 1982 è stato un grande successo commerciale.
