Billy Idol Lyrics - (Do Not) Stand in the Shadows

Billy Idol - (Do Not) Stand in the Shadows

Hearts which beat
To a precise beat
Painting shadows on the wall
Well, we cut our cars and fly by bars
All for one and one for all
Like a teenage sleaze
A comic book tease
With your art on your sleeve
Well, you know you won't run
You won't hide
And you jump like a son of a gun
Wow

Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow, oh oh
Do not stand in the shadow
Oh, lonely
Oh, lonely

Watching people on my walls
Well, my Momma and Daddy thought that they had me fooled
I wasn't thinking, not at all
Well I got out
I was not gonna stand
In the dark without a light
Forget ill luck
If you believe
That the chance could sit and wait

Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Dark and evil in the shadow oh oh
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow, oh oh
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow, oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh

And now we've touched down
Moving all around
Yeah, living to a blaster sound
No preachers, teachers freak out man
To the sound of false alarm
They ain't here today
Let me hear you say
You're alive and you're living with me
So, don't try to hide
Don't try to die
In the dark of the night

Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow, oh oh
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
In the shadow
In the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
