Out of the Shadows

I'm coming out of the shadows I'm coming into the light I'm stepping out in the sunshine 'Cause it's the end of the night Well if it pleases you, then that's what I will do I will dance into your fire And if it pleases you, to have me sit for you Like I'm a bird upon a wire And if it pleases you, then you may ridicule My clothes and my funny hat I'll bite my tongue 'til it bleeds and keep my lips sealed 'Cause I'm ever the diplomat I'm coming out of the shadows I'm coming into the light I'm stepping out in the sunshine 'Cause it's the end of the night You'll be so pleased to believe That we're all in agreement With all of the things that you think You've got Elizabeth on one wall Just the red, white and blue While your hired hands tend the sink You love reminiscing, you always look back You should look forwards, or else you might fall It seems the Emperor's got new clothes While you never noticed at all I'm coming out of the shadows I'm coming into the light I'm stepping out in the sunshine 'Cause it's the end of the night I'm coming out of the shadows I'm coming into the light I'm stepping out in the sunshine 'Cause it's the end of the night He'll act like a mouse who will scurry about To get you all of the things that you need While I'm quite hungry with the taste of blood But I can't bite the hand that feeds And if it pleases you, that's what I will do I will nod, smile, politely agree And tip my hat to my Lizzie on the left hand side Though I'm damn sure she doesn't know me I'm coming out of the shadows I'm coming into the light I'm stepping out in the sunshine 'Cause it's the end of the night I'm coming out of the shadows I'm coming into the light I'm stepping out in the sunshine 'Cause it's the end of the night --- Out of the Shadows - Reverend & the Makers
