- Songwriters: Billy Idol, Steve Stevens
Hearts which beat to a precise beat
Fading shadows on the wall
We'll cut our cards, drive out bars
All for one, one for all
Like teenage heat and carnival cheats
With your heart on your sleeve
Well you know you wanna run
You won't hide
And you jump like a son of a gun
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
Oh alone and lonely
Watching people on my wall
Well Mama and Dadda thought they had me fooled
I was thinking not at all
Well I got out, I'm not gonna stand
In the dark without a light
Forgetting love if you believe that chance
Sit and wait
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
Dodging evil in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
And now the judge is down feeling all around yeah
Lifting to a blast this sound
No preachers, teachers, pick our minds
To the sounds of false alarm
They're here today and they hear you say
You're alive and you're living with me
So don't try to hide and don't try to die
In the dark of the night
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
In the shadow, in the shadow
Do not stand in the shadow
