Talking to a friend I turned around And saw a total stranger Hiding out for safety's sake I found I put myself in danger There must be someway I can try to find An answer to the questions in my mind Or will I have to always spend my time Dancing in the shadows Dancing in the shadows I saw somebody earning more and more But he was getting poorer It seems to me the more things that you know The less you can be sure of There must be someway I can try to find An answer to the questions in my mind Or will I have to always spend my time Dancing in the shadows Dancing in the shadows Ooh I'm looking for a straight line Can't sleep at night There are words I never make rhyme It's like black, it's like white Dancing in the shadows
