It's no use saying that it's alright, it's alright.

But where were you after midnight, midnight.

Heard a bang, bang, bang; down they go

It's just a job you do

Cos the harder they run, and the harder they fall.

I'm coming down hard on you.

Now no-one saw what you looked like, what you looked like

Like a stranger you came out of the night, out of the night

Cos someone put the word on you, and I hope my aim is true.

Cos I got a name, and I got a number, I gotta line on you

I got a name, and I got a number, I'm coming after you

Don't keep saying that it's alright, it's alright,

It seems you went just a little too far this time

Heard a bang bang bang, and down you go,

It's just a job I do,

Cos the harder you run the harder you fall,

I'm coming down hard on you, hard on you - I hope my aim is true.

I got a name, and I got a number, I got a line on you

I got a name, and I got a number, and I'm coming after you

Keep running, keep running; city to city

Even if you're innocent,

You can cause too much embarrassment

And though your heart is breaking,

And you know there's no mistaking.

Cos you feel your life line breaking (keep running, keep running)

You can feel your hands are shaking (keep running, keep running)

And no-one answers the telephone

You can never never ever go home alone

And though your heart is aching

And you know there's no mistaking.

The footsteps close behind.

Now don't pretend that you sleep at night, but sleep tight

And can't you feel that the time is right, it's alright.

Heard a bang bang bang, and down you go

Oh no-one really cares

Cos the harder you run, and the harder you fall.

I'm coming down hard on you, hard on you - I'm hoping that my aim is true.

I got a name, and I got a number, I got a line on you

I got a name, and I got a number, I'm coming after you

I got a name, and I got a number, I got a line on you

I got a name, and I got a number, I got a job to do.
