I'm lookin' for good news I'm hangin' around A fresh lead and some new clues And one ear to the ground 'Cause I've seen gloom As common as rain The worst in a sad slide Is when I fail to see beyond the frame Sometimes in the dark Between streets, in alleys An alibi can come undone When the picture is enhanced Some light on the subject Is enough to keep me pushin' on Gone deep cover Not takin' the fall The best kept of all secrets Is no secret at all 'Cause I've seen liars Thicker than thieves Clouding the picture So watch your step when everyone agrees Sometimes in the dark Between streets, in alleys An alibi can come undone When the picture is enhanced Some light on the subject Is enough to keep me pushin' on And sometimes in the dark It feels a little scary Never know if help is near or far And shadows make the smallest things A little bigger than they are And they are Just a little bigger than they are Than they are Bump, stumblin' around Stumblin' around Bump, stumblin' around Stumblin' I found I've got news And it's just fine And the darkest of dark times Still can't erase this little light of mine Sometimes in the dark Between streets, in alleys An alibi can come undone When the picture is enhanced Some light on the subject Is enough to keep me pushin' on And sometimes in the dark It feels a little scary Never know if help is near or far And shadows make the smallest things A little bigger than they are Sometimes in the dark Things look a little bigger than they are Sometimes in the dark Things look a little bigger than they are Sometimes in the dark Things look a little bigger than they are
