Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow
Have you had another, baby, standing
in the shadow?
I'm glad I opened your eyes
The have-nots have tried to freeze you
in ice
Have you seen your brother, baby,
standing in the shadow
Have you had another baby, standing
in the shadow
I was just passing the time
I'm all alone, won't you give all
your sympathy to mine
Tell me a story about how you adore
me
Live in the shadow, see through the
shadow,
Live through the shadow, tear at the
shadow
Hate in the shadow, and love in your
shadowy life
Have you seen your lover, baby, standing
in the shadow
Has he had another baby, standing
in the shadow
Baby, where have you been all your
life
Talking about all the people who should
try anything twice
Have you seen your mother, baby,
standing in the shadow
Have you had another baby, standing
in the shadow
You take your choice at this time
The brave old world or the slide to
the depths of decline
