(Do Not) Stand In The Shadows - Lyrics by Billy Idol


Lyrics
Up in the street\r
To a precise beat \r
Painting shadows on the wall \r
Well, we cut cars and fly by bars \r
All for one and one for all \r
Like a teenage sleaze \r
A comic book tease \r
With your art on your sleeve \r
Well, you know you won't run \r
You won't hide \r
And you jump like a son of a gun \r
Wow \r
\r
CHOURS \r
\r
Do not stand in the shadows \r
Do not stand in the shadows \r
Do not stand in the shadows \r
Do not stand in the shadows \r
Oh, lonely \r
Oh, lonely \r
\r
Watching people on the walls \r
Well, Mommy and Daddy thought that they had \r
me fooled \r
I wasn't thinking - not at all \r
Well I got out \r
I was not gonna stand \r
In the dark without a light \r
Forget ill luck \r
If you belive \r
That chance should sit and wait \r
\r
CHOURS \r
\r
Do not stand in the shadows \r
Do not stand in the shadows \r
Dark and evil in the shadows \r
Do not stand in the shadows \r
Do not stand in the shadows \r
Do not stand in the shadows \r
Do not stand in the shadows \r
Oh, oh, oh, oh \r
\r
And now we've touched down \r
Moving all around \r
Yeah, living to a blaster sound \r
No preachers teachers freak out man \r
To the sound of false alarm \r
They ain't here today \r
Let me hear you say \r
You're alive and you're living with me \r
So, don't try to hide \r
Don't try to die \r
In the dark of the night
