Standing in the Shadows

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] He was a desparate man They couldn't understand He wanted more from life It was his one device Yeah, he felt right at home When the lights were low Yeah, it was in his eyes And it was no surprise [Pre-Chorus 1] Through the streets at night He smiled like no other As he played again Look to find another [Chorus] Standin' in the shadows Watchin' the world go by Standin' in the shadows He was lookin' Lookin' for a place to hide [Verse 2] He felt this way before And knew he wanted more He knew the dawn would come And he'd be on the run But still they drove him on Like a loaded gun His time was runnin' out And then he realized that he'd been here before [Pre-Chorus 2] Like a scream in the night For his crime, they showed no pity Even though they'd done the same It's the way of life in the city [Chorus] Standin' in the shadows Watchin' the world go by Standin' in the shadows He was lookin' Lookin' for a place to hide [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Lock your doors [Chorus 2] Standin' in the shadows Watchin' the world go by He was standin' in the shadows Lookin' Lookin' for a place to hide [Outro] Standin' in the shadows Standin' in the shadows He was standin' in the shadows Watchin' the world Standin' in the shadows Standin' in the shadows He was standin' in the shadows Standin' in the shadows Standin' in the shadows Standin' in the shadows Standin' in the shadows Standin' in the shadows
