Shady People Lyrics by Joey Tempest

We Come Alive - EP

1995

Don't walk the wild side
Just turn around
Don't flash your money
Or make a sound
Don't want for nothin'
Just leave it be
Makin contact
Is what you don't need
Talkin' 'bout shady, shady people
Now nothin matters
But yourself
Don't draw attention
To no one else
Don't answer questions
Just walk straight on
Don't count on safety
Until you get home
Talkin' 'bout shady, shady people
They don't want nobody here
So make your way and make it clear
Boy ain't that wild
They just won't run with the crowd
Walk the concreate
Look straight ahead
Remember nothin
What noone said
Don't look suspicious
Blend right in
As if your alibi is wearin' thin
Talkin' 'bout shady, shady people
Don't think twicе before you go
Don't mess with pеople you don't know
Boy ain't that wild
They just don't run with the crowd
Don't pay no mind
What you see or hear
It's not your claim
Don't interfere
If you made it through once before
Don't come around this place no more
Talkin' 'bout shady, shady people
Hey just don't come round here again
You don't want to be like them
Still ain't that wild
They just won't run with the crowd
Talkin' 'bout shady, shady people
