In the flinty light, it's midnight 
And stars collide. 
Shadows run, in full flight 
To run, seek and hide. 
I'm still not sure what part I play 
In this shadow play, this shadow play. 

In the half light, on this mad night 
I hear a voice in time. 
Well, I look back, see a half-smile 
Then it's gone from sight. 
Won't you tell me how I can find my way 
In this shadow play, this shadow play. 

Sounds come crashing 
And I hear laughing 
All those lights just blaze away. 
I feel a little strange inside 
A little bit of Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde. 

Sounds come crashing 
Can I hear laughing? 
All those lights just blaze away. 
I feel a little strange inside 
A little Dr. Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde. 

Thoughts run wild, free as a child 
Into the night. 
Across the screen a thin beam 
Of magic light. 
Things they just don't look the same 
In this shadow play, this shadow play 
Shadow play, shadow play. 
I can't run away from this shadow play
