As I walk in the shadows of darkness
Without a place to hide
You know I can t help but look over my shoulder
I m waiting for the knife to arrive

And I know I might seem a little bit paranoid
You know, it s just my way
Sometimes I get the feeling I m on borrowed time
Anyway, that s what most of us say

Something s taking over me
I don t know just what could it be
Feels strange, like a kind of glow
What it is I don t want to know

And in another life I swear I ve heard it all before
And in the dead of night
It sits just outside the door

I believe that tonight I ll be wasted
Can t stop me when I m out on the town

You know, I wake dreaming about tomorrow
And what it may all bring to light
You know, I believe all men were created equal
Red, yellow, black or white

Something s taking over me
I don t know just what could it be
Feels strange, like a kind of glow
What it is I don t want to know

And in another life I swear I ve heard it all before
And in the dead of night
It sits just outside the door

I believe that tonight I ll be wasted
Can t stop me when I m out on the town
I can feel it, I can taste it
Can t stop me when I m out on the town
