[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

The city carved a silhouette

On the ocean after dark

Over the lonely and the holy

And the red blood beating hearts

Up from the dirty black water

The shadow void of form

Raised itself out of the river

And it climbed upon the shore

[Verse 2]

Neon on the black top

There's a gentle rain downtown

The shadow pooling underneath me

As it follows on the ground

Kissed you when I saw you

Stared deep into your eyes

I meant to say I love you

But instead I said goodbye

[Chorus]

Shadows in the city

I'm a stranger to myself

On these streets I'm someone else

Shadows in the city

Like a demon in the dark

Come to tear us apart

[Post-Chorus]

Beyond our city

Shadows, downtown

Beyond our city

Shadows, downtown

Beyond our city

Shadows, downtown

Beyond our city

Shadows, downtown

Beyond our city

[Verse 3]

For all my good intentions

There's a shadow in the dark

He comes to me infrequently

And breaks your perfect heart

I don't know why I do it

Apologized but it's too late

A single tear and you leave me here

And the shadow slips away

[Chorus]

Shadows in the city

I'm a stranger to myself

On these streets I'm someone else

Shadows in the city

Like a demon in the dark

Come to tear us apart

[Post-Chorus]

Beyond our city

Shadows, downtown

Beyond our city

Shadows, downtown

Beyond our city

Shadows, downtown

Beyond our city

Shadows, downtown

Beyond our city

[Saxophone Solo]

[Outro]

Beyond our city

Beyond our city

Beyond our city

Beyond our city

Shadows, downtown

Beyond our city

Shadows, downtown

Beyond our city

Shadows, downtown

Beyond our city

Shadows, downtown

Beyond our city

Shadows, downtown

Beyond our city

Shadows, downtown

Beyond our city

Shadows, downtown

Beyond our city

Shadows, downtown

Beyond our city
