In the late of the evening with the cold in my eyes
I'm a madman out on a bad man route looking for paradise
She said slow down baby, slow down now
Come 'round and get me, I'll show you, show you, show you how

When the play is unoriginal and the cast scrapes and bows
And the only way you can seize the day is to blend into the crowd
She says slow down baby, slow down now
Come 'round and get me, I'll show you, show you, show you how

You can float downstream let the past be the past
You can wake up from a dream and find your other half
Resurrection will come apparition will go
And the shadow singer will stand and linger in places no one ever goes

When the stage is dead and empty and the band had all gone home
When the lights go out what's it all about sitting there on your own
She says slow down baby, slow down now
Come 'round and get me, I'll show you, show you, show you how

I'll show you, show you, show you how
I'll show you, show you, show you how
I'll show you, show you, show you how
