Lyrics
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.
It's over now you know,
No need to kid ourselves,
You're nothing but a go - between,
Running like a fool,
From one side to the other,
I never thought I'd see you,
Whispering on your knees;
I thought that everyone,
Recovered from their pain,
But last time that I saw you,
You were very nearly sane.
CHORUS:
Here we go back to the shadows,
Dressed up for that big night on the town,
Who needs an alibi anyway?
I'm not walking with my eyes to the ground.
And now the whole wide world,
Is into some new trend,
And it seems with every fashion,
You just exchange your friends.
Here we go back to the shadows,
Dressed up for that big night on the town,
Who needs an alibi anyway?
I'm not walking with my eyes to the ground.
