I’ve been caught leaving too much to chance
My time, my identity in someone else’s hands
What rises up may disappear
There's no real reward... just getting from here to there

Friends and lovers once were silhouettes
Her eyes see me, there may be hope yet
The secret of love may never be known
But she’ll look through me if I'm living like a ghost

And I know, I can't keep on rolling the dice
Another double agent twists the knife
Shadow man, come in from the cold

Days used to be lighter, it was easier than this
We moved in unison, we could all co-exist
What went up, always came down
Or so it seemed – I could be wrong, wrong

And I know, I can’t keep on sinking like a stone
The responsibility is my own
Shadow man, come in from the cold
Shadow man shouldn’t be so alone

I've been hidin', I've been lyin', I've been lookin' out instead of in
Two timin', I’m smilin', turned off the voice inside my head
I've been hidin', I've been lyin', I've been lookin' out instead of in
Two timin', I’m smilin', turned off the voice inside my head

I know... I can’t keep going on like a drone
These empty streets are no kind of home
These empty streets are no kind of home
Shadow man, come in from the cold
Shadow man shouldn’t be so alone
Shadow man, come in from the cold
I’m a shadow man, I’m coming in from the cold

I've been hidin', I've been lyin'... shadow man
Two timin', I’m smilin'... shadow man
