Standing In the Shadows

He was a desparate man

They couldn't understand

He wanted more from life

It was his one device

Yeah, he felt right at home

When the lights were low

Yeah, it was in his eyes

And it was no surprise

Through the streets at night

He smiled like no other

As he played again

Look to find another

Standin' in the shadows

Watchin' the world go by

Standin' in the shadows

He was lookin'

Lookin' 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 runnin' out

And then 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

Standin' in the shadows

Watchin' the world go by

Standin' in the shadows

He was lookin'

Lookin' for a place to hide

Lock your doors

Standin' in the shadows

Watchin' the world go by

He was standin' in the shadows

Lookin'

Lookin' for a place to hide

Standin' in the shadows

Standin' in the shadows

He was standin' in the shadows

Watchin' the world

Standin' in the shadows

Standin' in the shadows

He was standin' in the shadows

Standin' in the shadows

Standin' in the shadows

Standin' in the shadows

Standin' in the shadows

Standin' in the shadows
