Stand In The Shadows Lyrics - Billy Idol

Hearts which beat to a precise beat 

Fading shadows on the wall 

We'll cut our cards, drive out bars 

All for one, one for all 

Like teenage heat and carnival cheats 

With your heart on 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 shadow 

Do not stand in the shadow 

Do not stand in the shadow 

Do not stand in the shadow 

Oh alone and lonely 

Watching people on my wall 

Well Mama and Dadda thought they had me fooled 

I was thinking not at all 

Well I got out, I'm not gonna stand 

In the dark without a light 

Forgetting love if you believe that chance 

Sit and wait 

Do not stand in the shadow 

Do not stand in the shadow 

Dodging evil in the shadow 

Do not stand in the shadow 

Do not stand in the shadow 

Do not stand in the shadow 

Do not stand in the shadow 

And now the judge is down feeling all around yeah 

Lifting to a blast this sound 

No preachers, teachers, pick our minds 

To the sounds of false alarm 

They're here today and they 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 shadow 

Do not stand in the shadow 

Do not stand in the shadow 

Do not stand in the shadow 

Do not stand in the shadow 

Do not stand in the shadow 

In the shadow, in the shadow 

Do not stand in the shadow
