Lyrics Billy Idol – (Do Not) Stand In The Shadow

Hearts which beat to a precise beat
Fading shadows on the wall
We’ll cut our cards
Drive out bars

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 shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows

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
Not gonna stand
In the dark without a light
Forgetting love if you believe that chance
Sit and wait
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows

Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows

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 shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows

Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
In the shadows, in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
