Friend it's good to see you
But have you seen yourself today
You got a bad thought brewing in the back of your head baby
You got a big fear written all over your face
The little tiny worry looking over your shoulder
Be a big tall worry by the afternoon
The sun goes down and you think you've outrun it
But it'll come around and catch you by the light of the moon
So you better go shadow dancing (shadow dancing)
Shadow dancing (shadow dancing)
Shadow dancing (shadow dancing)
Shadow dancing (shadow dancing)
You say you couldn't name it
But you think you got the same old blues
Well they've been rattling around like a string of old tin cans
Darling put on those dancing shoes
'Cos the little tiny worry looking over your shoulder
Be a big tall worry by the afternoon
The sun goes down and you think you've outrun it
But it'll come around and catch you by the light of the moon
So you better go shadow dancing (shadow dancing)
Shadow dancing (shadow dancing)
Shadow dancing (shadow dancing)
Shadow dancing (shadow dancing)
A little heap of trouble be a mountain of regret
And the longer you ignore it the bigger it will get, yeah
You got an old ghost chasing round you
You better put him six feet underground
And those bad thoughts brewing in the back of your head baby
Just pour a cup and drink them down
'Cos the little tiny worry looking over your shoulder
Be a big tall worry by the afternoon
The sun goes down and you think you've outrun it
But it'll come around and catch you by the light of
The moon
So you better go shadow dancing (shadow dancing)
Shadow dancing (shadow dancing)
Shadow dancing (shadow dancing)
You better go, you better go shadow dancing (shadow dancing)
