Shadows
Lions and shadows
Alone in a room
To the sound of an old song playing
Waiting
Watching and waiting
And the voices I hear
Say c'mon take a walk
I'm following you
Following me
There's a place we all know
But I can't, no I won't, no I don't want to go

And nobody looked at the boy
Who walked in through the door
Sat down at the bar
Had a drink, had a cigarette
And no-one heard him say
Why can't I escape
From the lions and shadows?

Shadows
Lions and shadows
Alone in an all-night cafe
Passing the time
Mirror
The man in the mirror
Says it's a small price to pay
But I can't, no I won't, no I don't want to stay

And nobody looked at the boy
Who walked past in the street
And no-one turned
And no-one heard him say
Why can't I escape
From the lions and shadows?

Lions and shadows
Lions and shadows
Lions and shadows
Lions and shadows

Shadows
Lions and shadows
Waking up to the sound of a train passing by
Waiting
Watching and waiting
And the voices I hear
Say c'mon take a walk
I'm following you
Following me
There's a place we all know
But I can't, no I won't, no I don't want to go

And nobody looked at the boy
As they took him away
DOA
And no-one heard him say
Why can't I escape
From the lions and shadows?

Lions and shadows
Lions and shadows
Lions and shadows
Lions and shadows
