LYRICS

In the flinty light, it's midnight,
And the stars collide.
Shadows run, in full flight,
To run, seek and hide.
I'm still not sure what part I play,
In this shadow play, shadow play.
In the half-light, on this mad night,
I hear a voice in time.
Well, I look back, see a half-smile,
Then it's gone from sight.
Tell me, how I can find my way,
In this shadow play, this shadow play,
In this shadow play, this shadowplay.

Sounds come crashing,
And I hear laughing,
All those lights just blaze away.
I feel a little strange inside,
A little bit of Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde.

Sounds come crashing,
And I hear laughing,
All those lights just blaze away.
I feel a little strange inside,
A little Mr. Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde.
Yeah.........

Thoughts run wild, free as a child,
Into the night.
Across the screen a thin beam,
Of magic light.

There are things that just don't look the same,
In this shadow play, shadow play,
Shadow play, shadow play
I can't run away.
From this shadow play,
shadow play, this shadow play
Well help me find my way,
In this shadow play,
Yeah..........
