[Verse 1]
I went out looking for you, I tried the nightclubs and the bars
I searched the alleyways where lonely men'll hide their cars
The girls down at the motel are too afraid to say
'Cause we've got mouths to feed, bills to pay
This kind of talk just drives the men away
[Verse 2]
I tried the station for all the good that that would do
It seems their laws don't work for the likes of me and you
I showed your picture and I tried to explain
But you know those dirty cops downtown are all the fucking same
You girls have only got yourselves to blame
[Chorus]
We're just shadows, we're just shadows in the dark
We're just shadows, lonely souls and broken hearts
[Verse 3]
I was putting on my makeup when word came on the news
There's a body in the reservoir, and I knew that it was you
When they took you from the water your hands and feet were tied
I wonder who you called out for just before you died
I fixed myself [?][2:29] just so I could cry
[Verse 4]
You talked about Eddie, he was getting out last May
Always said he come and get you, take all your pain away
I knew you loved him and you didn't care
The fact he tried to kill you once was neither here nor there
I wonder was it Eddie who took you way out there
[Chorus]
We're just shadows, we're just shadows in the dark
We're just shadows, lonely souls and broken hearts
[Verse 5]
I still have that picture of us on New Years Eve
You look so happy in your party dress, and I'm stretched across your knee
We've lightning in our eyes for this year we'd be free
I'd put down the needle and you'd stop chasing speed
You'll never, ever know how much that picture means to me
You'll never, ever know how much it means to me
[Outro]
We're just shadows, we're just shadows in the dark
