Lyrics

Shadow Of A Man

(Sha da dow sha da do oh) (Sha da dow sha da do ow of a man) (Sha da dow sha da do oh) Dance in the shadow of a ma-a-a-a-a-a-a) Standing in the shadow of another man Lonely as the streets pass me by Life ain't under pressure Cuz I got a plan Starin' at myself in the eye When I get this feeling I can't get enough Cuz I start believing And my voice gets tough Now I got this feeling I can't get enough Cuz I won't be used for my love and left out to cry I don't wanna fade into the darkness tonight Show me the light I don't wanna be the one to fall on the knife To come alive I'm about to be there I'm about to be there Watch me I swear I'll dance in the shadow of a man Hard to be the yellow in a purple sky Peakin' through the eye of the storm (Eye of the storm) Gotta be the truth or you'll become a lie (Become a lie) Piercing like your skin from a thorn When I get this feeling I can't get enough Cuz I start believing And my voice gets tough Now I got this feeling I can't get enough Cuz I won't be used for my love and left out to cry I don't wanna fade into the darkness tonight Show me the light I don't wanna be the one to fall on the knife To come alive I'm about to be there I'm about to be there Watch me I swear I'll dance in the shadow of a man Sha da dow sha da do oh (Shadow of a man) Sha da dow sha da do ow of a man Sha da dow sha da do oh (Shadow of a man) Dance in the shadow of a man Can't ignore the voice within And a woman can't lose but you still pretend Can't ignore the voice within And a woman can't lose but you still pretend Can't ignore the voice within And a woman can't lose but you still pretend Cuz I won't be used for my love And left out to cry! I don't wanna fade into the darkness tonight Show me the light I don't wanna be the one to fall on the knife I'm 'bout to come alive I'm about to be there I'm about to be there Watch me I swear I'll dance in the shadow of a man Sha da dow sha da do oh (Shadow of a man) Sha da dow sha da do ow of a man Sha da dow sha da do oh (Shadow of a man) Dance in the shadow of a man
