Standing in the Shadows

He was a desperate man

They couldn't understand

He wanted more from life

It was his one deviceYeah, he fell tried and hung

When the lights were low

Yeah, it was in his eyes

And it was no surpriseThrough the streets at night

He's smilin' like no other

As he paid again

Look to find anotherStanding in the shadows

Watchin' the world go by

Standing in the shadows

He was lookin'

Lookin' for a place to hideHe felt this way before

And knew he wanted more

He knew the dawn would come

And he'd be on the runBut still they drove him on

Like a loaded gun

His time was runnin' out

And he realized that he'd been here beforeLike a scream in the night

For his crime they showed no pity

Even though they'd done the same

It's the way of life in the cityStanding in the shadows

Watchin' the world go by

Standing in the shadows

He was lookin'

Lookin' for a place to hideLock your doors

Standing in the shadows

Watchin' the world go by

He was standing in the shadows

Lookin', lookin' for a place to hideStanding in the shadows

He was standing in the shadows

Watchin' the world

Standing in the shadows

Standing in the shadowsHe was standing in the shadows

Standing in the shadows

Standing in the shadows

Standing in the shadows
