I'd really like to confess my sins
But if I were to believe in miracles
I'd let the outside in

Last night they showed you faces
Of unfamiliar places
But in the mass confusion
Not deafened by illusion

I know - I've seen their faces
I know They leave no traces

I'd really like a brand new motor car
A set of wheels won't get me very far
I could never get the hang of hanging on
I've been here too long

And when the days seem endless
Don't fear to take a stand
Won't need an alibi
Someone to hold your hand

I know - I've seen their faces
I know That they leave no shadows
No shadows (repeat)

Don't be the one to fall
The others seem so shallow
One day you 71 take it all
Don't be the one to cast a shadow

Cast a shadow (repeat)

I could never get the hang of hanging on
I was not that strong
If I ever get the hang of hanging on
I'd be here too long
