Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pour yourself another drink
Light a cigarette and let the smoke hide you
Medicate the pain away, live to see another day
Sleep the whole night through
[Verse 2]
Your secret, just feed it
God knows how much you need it
[Verse 3]
Why you gotta hide, why you gotta hide?
Why you gotta run?
What you got to lose, what you got to lose
When all is said and done?
[Verse 4]
Why you gotta break? What's it gonna take
For you to be someone?
Everybody knows
You're shadows, you'll go when the light goes
When the light goes
[Verse 5]
Kiss yourself another stranger 'cause you know you love the danger
Don't you?
Give yourself to someone new, every night is what you do
[Verse 6]
Your secret, just feed it
God knows how much you need it
[Verse 7]
Why you gotta hide, why you gotta hide?
Why you gotta run?
What you got to lose, what you got to lose
When all is said and done?
[Verse 8]
Why you gotta break? What's it gonna take
For you to be someone?
Everybody knows
You're shadows, you'll go when the light goes
[Verse 9]
(When the light goes)
When the light goes
(When the light goes)
When the light goes
(When the light goes)
When the light goes
Only you know
You're shadows, you'll go when the light goes
[Verse 10]
(When the light goes)
When the light goes
(When the light goes)
When the light goes
