On to the streets to a precise beat
painting shadows on the wall
Well, cut out cars, drive out bars
All for one, and one for all
Like a teenage sneeze and comic book cheese
With your heart upon your sleeve
Well, you know you wanna run, you won't hide
And you jump like a son of a gun
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Oh, lonely oh lonely
Watching people on my walk
Well, my mama and daddy thought they had me fooled
I weren't thinking ..not at all
Well, I got out not gonna stand
In the dark without a light
Forgetting a love if you believe
That chance can sit and wait
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Dodging evil in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
And now we touch down feeling all around, yeah
Living to a blast of sound
No preachers, teachers, prick our minds
To the sounds of false alarms and hear today let me hear you say
You're alive and you're living with me
So don't try to hide and don't try to die
In the dark of the night
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
In the shadows, in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
