Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ask me questions, get no answers
Give me nothing, take no chances
Show me books with empty pages
Wind your clocks and read your gauges
Shadow boxer
Shadow boxer
[Verse 2]
Tell me truths that have no meaning
Live in rooms that have no ceiling
Now your friends are all departed
So your secret's closely guarded
Shadow boxer
Shadow boxer
Shadow boxer
[Verse 3]
Don't go walkin' out late at night
Bolt your door, lock your windows tight
Be much safer stayin' out of sight
You're just a shadow boxer
Shadow boxer
Shadow boxer
[Verse 4]
Don't go walkin' out late at night
Bolt your door, lock your windows tight
Be much safer stayin' out of sight
You might go down in a state of fright
[Verse 5]
Watch out when you're all alone
Locked inside your safety zone
You might find that you have turned to stone
[Verse 6]
Shadow boxer
Shadow boxer
Shadow boxer
Shadow boxer
You ain't nothing but a
Shadow boxer
Shadow boxer
Shadow boxer
