I got up and looked around
In the shadow of a simple town
I stood tall and did my time
Kept to myself and committed no crime

There isn't anybody who's an island, no
And that is why
I just can's seem to find a reason
To signify

I got up and looked around
In the shadow, of a simple town
In the shadow
In the shadow of a simple town
Of a simple town (In the shadow
In the shadow of a simple town)

Well peaceful dreams is all she has
To free herself from a painful past
Things got bad and things got worse
People laughed you know it's so perverse

There isn't anybody who's an island, no
And that is why
I just can's seem to find a reason
To signify

She got up and looked around
In the shadow, of a simple town
In the shadow
In the shadow of a simple town
Of a simple town (In the shadow
In the shadow of a simple town)

(Bridge)
Free yourself from all the pain
You got to free yourself from the words they say
Free ourself ooh..
Free yourself
Free yourself from the words they say
Free yourself from the price they'll pay



(Instrumental solos)


I got up and walked around
In the shadows of that simple town
Walkin' in the darkness just made me mad
Cause I never knew just what I had

Those dark cold alleys seem to find me
To hesitate
Resurrection's got to free me
It's no mistake

I got up and walked around
In the shadow, of a simple town
In the shadow
In the shadow of a simple town
Of a simple town (In the shadow
In the shadow of a simple town)
(Repeat)
