Talking to a friend I turned around   And saw a total stranger   Hiding out for safety’s sake I found   I put myself in danger    There must be someway I can try to find   An answer to the questions in my mind   Or will I have to always spend my time   Dancing in the shadows   Dancing in the shadows    I saw somebody earning more and more   But he was getting poorer   It seems to me the more things that you know   The less you can be sure of    There must be someway I can try to find   An answer to the questions in my mind   Or will I have to always spend my time   Dancing in the shadows   Dancing in the shadows       OOh I’m looking for a straight line   Can’t sleep at night   There are words I never make rhyme   It’s like black, it’s like white   Dancing in the shadows
