[Verse 1] Oh, girl, it's a cold world For the restless and the young They say, "Slow down, it's a showdown" But our time will surely come [Pre-Chorus] The hungry hunter makes his laws With the barrel of a gun [Chorus] We're running through the shadows of the night So come on, take my hand, it'll be alright And if we have to stay and brave the fight We will win in the end [Verse 2] I'm so tired of hearing How our parents misspent their youth Now they get old and they stay at home With their Valiums and Vermouth [Pre-Chorus] You know we gotta make a life somewhere We gotta get out of this trap [Chorus] We're running through the shadows of the night So come on, take my hand, it'll be alright And if we have to stay and brave the fight We will win in the end We're running through the shadows of the night So come on, take my hand, it'll be alright And if we have to stay and brave the fight We will win in the end [Bridge] You know we gotta make a life somewhere We gotta get out of this trap You know we gotta make a stand sometime It takes guts to live in this world [Chorus] We're running through the shadows of the night So come on, take my hand, it'll be alright And if we have to stay and brave the fight We will win in the end We're running through the shadows of the night So come on, take my hand, it'll be alright And if we have to stay and brave the fight We will win in the end [Outro] We're running through the shadows of the night We're running through the shadows of the night We're running through the shadows of the night We're running, we're running (Shadows of the night) We're running, we're running We're running through the shadows (Shadows of the night) We're running through the shadows (Shadows of the night) We're running through the shadows (Shadows of the night) We're running through the shadows (Shadows of the night) We're running through the shadows of the night We're running through the shadows
