Another great song - don't know why so many people criticize it. I think the lyrics are very evocative, they really tell a story and put you in it.
Anyway, a pretty straight-forward thriller/adventure story based on Gangster films and such - just some guy on the run from the mob. Some of the books on Iron Maiden have pointed out this whole album seems to be about "escape" of one form or another, and this song certainly fits the bill.
