I looked over my shoulder, straight into your eyes
As you stood in my shadow, in some loud disguise
You were lookin' straight through me, like a piece of glass
Out of step with the fashion, fashions always pass
I've been living on the dark side of the sun
Waiting for something that would never come
Feeling restless and traded, my heartbeat paralyzed
Like some refugee hero, to beat him out every night
In some rock 'n' roll wasteland, in a thousand hours
Run with dawn and keep smiling, present them with the flowers
I've been living on the dark side of the sun
Waiting for something that would never come
And I've been running down the shadows, like a street gang to survive
Hoping for something to keep me alive
(Solo)
I looked over my shoulder, fire in my eyes
We were looking for justice, what we got was a great big surprise
We've been living on the dark side of the sun
Waiting for something that would never come
And we've been running from the shadows, like some street gang to survive
Waiting for something to keep us alive
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
I been living on the dark side - whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
And I've been running from the shadows - whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
