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 a 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 Dadday 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   Dodging evil 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      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
