I’ve had sex and drugs and cigarettes since I was young
I made money since I could count
All the excitement that was there to be had
Has been grabbed since I partied about
Maybe I can live in the shadows
Instead of the light surrounding me and you
Starkness may be an unexpected blessing
For excitement is nothing when it’s thru
I now work and I now play
Been an adult since I was ten
But if I sit and turn around
I feel empty till I run about
Maybe I can live in the shadows
Instead of the light surrounding me and you
Starkness may be an unexpected blessing
For excitement in nothing when it’s thru
I have plenty of things
Nothing of my own
I see with the eyes of the world
The line has been drawn
Piecemeal excitement
I sense a cavity deep inside
My shudder speed misses the spectacle
Right before my eyes
Life in the shadows
Life in the shadows
