Under The Shadows Songtext

von Eric Andersen

Under the shadows
Under the gun
Under the wire
My back to the sun
I'm over the deadline
I'm way over the edge
I'm under the shadows
I'm over my head
I'm hearing voices
But nothin sounds real
The music is heartfelt
But it's nothin I feel
I'm too tired to phone
I'm too edgy to care
No need to open my eyes
I know what's out there
I see a reflection
There's a man in the glass
I'm too scared to reach out
I'm too frightened of masks
The face isn't movin
Cause only time does
What'll happen when he finds out
That what is ain't what was
Every person I know
Has made a mistake
Like it or not
Each has its own face
You can try and protect it
Try and cover it up
Or wear a disguise
Is it ever enough
I think I'll retire
To an old rodeo
Sit in the bleachers
With an old radio
Seen so many places
Seen too many views
Each face I remember
Was only one that I knew
Under the shadows
Under the gun
Under the wire
My back to the sun
I'm over the deadline
Way over the edge
I'm under the shadows
Way over my head
Under the shadows
Way over my head
