There's a shadow in the dark
A Surgeon with a rusty knife
There's a tiger in a cage
And he's waiting to be free
Oh don't go out there
Someone's moving in the dark
Wait until the coast is clear
Before you step into the scene
You have to know what is for real
Oh don't go out there
Standing in the shadow on the opening night
Waiting for the curtain, can't you feel the bright light?
Standing in the shadow, now there so much more
Gotta face the music make it last a lifetime
There's a cast of thousands
An army waiting in the wings
A ghost out on the balcony
The master's holding centre stage
Oh don't go out there
Feel the pounding in your heart
The tension of a waiting game
But when the memory catches fire
Even whores have dreams
Oh don't go out there
Standing in the shadow on the opening night
Waiting for the curtain, can't you feel the bright light?
Standing in the shadow, now there so much more
Gotta face the music make it last a lifetime
And in the still night a small boy cries
Hands a tremble for his mother's arms
Now there's no-one there
This is the moment his time has come
And through the trap door
He makes his break his journey has begun
Standing in the shadow on the opening night
Waiting for the curtain, can't you feel the bright light?
Standing in the shadow, now there so much more
Gotta face the music make it last a lifetime
Standing in the shadow on the opening night
Waiting for the curtain, can't you feel the bright light?
Standing in the shadow, now there so much more
Gotta face the music make it last a lifetime
