Lyrics (Do Not) Stand In The Shadows - Billy Idol

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
