Shadow Play
In the flinty light, it's midnight
And stars collide
Shadows run, in full flight
To run, seek and hide
I'm still not sure what part I play
In this shadow play, this shadow play
In the half light, on this mad night
I hear a voice in time
Well, I look back, see a half-smile
Then it's gone from sight
Won't you tell me how I can find my way
In this shadow play, this shadow play
Shadow play, shadow play
Sounds come crashing
And I hear laughing
All those lights just blaze away
I feel a little strange inside
A little bit of Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde
Sounds come crashing
And I hear laughing
All those lights just blaze away
I feel a little strange inside
A little Mr. Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde
Thoughts run wild, free as a child into the night
Across the screen a thin beam of magic light
Things they just don't look the same
In this shadow play, this shadow play
Shadow play, shadow play
I can't run away from this shadow play
