[Do Not] Stand In the Shadows lyrics

Hearts which beat to a precise beat

Fading shadows on the wall

We'll cut our cards

Drive out bars

All for one, one for all

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, oww

Do not stand in the shadows

Do not stand in the shadows

Do not stand in the shadows, oh, oh

Do not stand in the shadows

Oh, alone and lonely

Watching people on my wall

Well, Mama and Daddy

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, oww

Do not stand in the shadows

Do not stand in the shadows

Dark and evil in the shadows, oh, oh

Do not stand in the shadows

Do not stand in the shadows, oh, oh

Do not stand in the shadows

Do not stand in the shadows, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oww

And now we've touched down

Moving all around, yeah

Living to a blaster sound

No preachers, teachers

Pick our minds

To the sound 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, oww

Do not stand in the shadows

Do not stand in the shadows

Do not stand in the shadows, oh, oh

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
