SHADOW PLAY
Photo Finish - 1978
In the flinty light, it's midnight and 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, this shadow play.
Well, 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, why everyone have changed, In this shadow play, this shadow play, I have to find my way, In this shadow play.
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 Dr. 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.
Tell me why things don't look the same, In this shadow play, this shadow play, I have to find my way, In this shadow play.
I have to get away, In this shadow play, well help me find my way, In this shadow play, Yeah..........
