[Intro]

(Sha-da-do, sha-da-do-ow)

(Sha-da-do, sha-da-do-ow of a man)

(Sha-da-do, sha-da-do-ow)

Dance in the shadow of a m—

[Verse 1]

Standing in the shadow of another man

Lonely as the streets pass me by (Oh, oh)

Life ain't under pressure 'cause I got a plan

Starin' at myself in the eye (Oh, oh-oh)

[Pre-Chorus]

When I get this feeling

I can't get enough

'Cause I stop believing

And my voice gets cold

Now I got this feeling

I can't get enough

'Cause I won't be used for my love and left out to cry

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Hard to be the yellow in a purple sky (Sky)

Peekin' 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 (Oh, oh, I)

[Pre-Chorus]

When I get this feeling

I can't get enough

'Cause I stop believing

And my voice gets cold

Now I got this feeling

I can't get enough

'Cause I won't be used for my love and left out to cry

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

Sha-da-do, sha-da-do-ow (Shadow of a man)

Sha-da-do, sha-da-do-ow of a man

Sha-da-do, sha-da-do-ow (Shadow of a man)

Dance in the shadow of a man

[Bridge]

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

'Cause I won't be used for my love and left out to cry

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

Sha-da-do, sha-da-do-ow (Shadow of a man)

Sha-da-do, sha-da-do-ow of a man

Sha-da-do, sha-da-do-ow (Shadow of a man)

Dance in the shadow of a man
