Lyrics

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
A real nice guy with a n-n-n-n-nasty side
In trouble, he tried to hide from himself
Good gawd, sad man
Couldn't face up to the yin and the yang
Everybody, all of us got a "Shadow"
Who knows what lurks
In the hearts of men
The Shadow knows
We become what we do
Not what we pretend
Between the intention
And the expression
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls The Shadow
Sometimes I fail to follow through
On things that I want to do
And other times I find myself
Doing the very things I hate
Reverend Jimmy and Tammy Belle
Big time pumpers with a story to sell
Wait a minute, their finger's pointing at you
Pay attention, listen up
Don't try to deny it or cover it up
Everybody, all of us got a "Shadow"
Written by: Gerald Casale, Mark Mothersbaugh
