He was a desparate man They couldn't understand He wanted more from life It was his one device Yeah, he fell tried and hung When the lights were low Yeah it was in his eyes And it was no surprise Through the streets at night He's smiling like no other As he paid again Look to find another Standing in the shadows Watching the world go by Standing in the shadows He was looking Looking for a place to hide He felt this way before And knew he wanted more He knew the dawn would come And he'd be on the run But still they drove him on Like a loaded gun His time was running out And he realized that he'd been here before Like 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 city Standing in the shadows Watching the world go by Standing in the shadows He was looking Looking for a place to hide Lock your doors Standing in the shadows Watching the world go by He was standing in the shadows Looking Looking for a place Standing in the shadows He was standing in the shadows Watching the world Standing in the shadows Standing in the shadows He was standing in the shadows Standing in the shadows Standing in the shadows
