Up in the street
 To a precise beat
 Painting shadows on the wall
 Well, we cut cars and fly by bars
 All for one and one for all
 Like a teenage sleaze
 A comic book tease
 With your art on your sleeve
 Well, you know you won't run
 You won't hide
 And you jump like a son of a gun
 Wow

 [Chorus:]
 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, lonely
 Oh, lonely

 Watching people on the walls
 Well, Mommy and Daddy thought that they had me fooled
 I wasn't thinking - not at all
 Well I got out
 I was not gonna stand
 In the dark without a light
 Forget ill luck
 If you believe
 That chance should sit and wait

 [Chorus]
 Do not stand in the shadows
 Do not stand in the shadows
 Dark and 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
 Oh, oh, oh, oh

 And now we've touched down
 Moving all around
 Yeah, living to a blaster sound
 No preachers teachers freak out man
 To the sound of false alarm
 They ain't here today
 Let me hear you say
 You're alive and you're living with me
 So, don't try to hide
 Don't try to die
 In the dark of the night
