Lyrics
In The Shadows
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Soon they'll trip the wire - exploding glass and fire
They're tryin' take me down without a fight
Nothin' left to lose - penitentiary blues
In and out so long now I don't care
When the wind blows
You never know who holds the rusty-blade
In the shadows
I'll disappear into thin air without a trace
CHORUS:
I..............Ain't waitin' for my number to expire
I..............I've gonna live my life by my desire
I'm better on the street - pavement 'neath my feet
Helicopter searchlights all around
Hell begins to rain - yeah, pain's my middle name
Those burnin' blades will never chase me down
When the smoke clears
survival soon becomes your only friend
Like some nightmare
while you pretend the fear begins it knows no end
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
(I'll) take my life into my bloody hands
Because there's something I need to discover
Before I hear that reaper call my name
I'll take it to the limit, let the pendulum swing wide,
until my time has come
