dark side of the sun

i looked over my shoulder

straight into your eyes

as you stood in my shadow

in some loud disguise

you were lookin' straight through me

like a piece of glass

out of step with the fashion

fashions always pass

i've been living

on the dark side of the sun

waiting for something

that would never come

feeling restless and jaded

my heartbeat paralyzed

like some refugee hero

to beat denounced and denied

in some rock and roll wasteland

in a thousand hours

while madonnas keep smiling

present them with the flowers

i've been living

on the dark side of the sun

waiting for something

that would never come

and i've been running down the shadows

like a street gang to survive

hoping for something to keep me alive

i looked over my shoulder

fire in my eyes

we were looking for justice

what we got was a great big surprise

we've been living

on the dark side of the sun

waiting for something

that would never come

and we've been running from the shadows

like some street gang to survive

waiting for something to keep us alive

been living on the dark side

and i've been running from the shadows
