You're on the run from the Law

You weren't happy, had to have much more

Now the heat is on

The heat is on

Don't look back

Hideaway

You keep going, just another day

'Cause the heat is on

The heat is on 



You know you're in the hands of fate

You've done the worst

You must appreciate why

The heat is on

The heat is on

Run away on the night flight

Oh they got you on the run

You gonna live in the twilight

Oh the heat is on 



Took your gold, took your chance

You got the money

And you got romance

Now, the heat is on

The heat is on

The time has come for you to go

You keep running

But it seems so slow

'Cause the heat is on

The heat is on

[repeat to fade]
