In the late of the evening
With the cold in my eyes
I'm a madman out on a bad man route
Looking for paradise
She says slow down baby slow down now
Come 'round and get me I'll show you
show you show you how

When the play is unoriginal
And the cast scrapes and bows
And the only way you can seize the day
Is to blend into the crowd
She says slow down baby slow down now
Come 'round and get me I'll show you
show you show you how

You can float downstream let the past
be the past
You can wake up from a dream and find
your other half
Resurrection will come apparition will go
And the shadow singer will stand
and linger
In places no one ever goes

When the stage is dead and empty
And the band had all gone home
When the lights go out what's it
all about
Sitting there on your own
She says slow down baby slow down now
Come 'round and get me I'll show you
show you show you how
