Lyrics

Left in Shadows © 2011 Ken Kahn

Rifling through the lost and found
Outside the darker part of town,
I stumbled in your pretty lies
And I was mesmerized by your tattoo.

It wasn't like we both were free.
He waits for you, she waits for me.
But maybe we were hunting this -
A feeling that we won't resist at all.

Matters best left in shadows,
So we will stay in the underground.

Hunger running hot and cold,
A thing that's far beyond control.
A late night bar and grinding beat,
A slow ride on a streetcar named Desire.

Passions that come out at night,
Emotions that we wear skin-tight,
The scorching look, the smoky phrase.
If this is hell, why does it raise us higher.

Matters best left in shadows,
So we will stay in the underground.
