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
