Only Shadows Follow Him

But he just silently disappears into the night of the outskirts of town When he arrives on the stage, the streetlights bow down Nobody ever sees him during the day He's afraid of gazes and just waits for the dark Someone says he's always just running away from life Every day around the town they say: Someone saw that madman moving at night again Why are people like that still allowed to walk free? That's what they say That's what they say That's what they say But he just silently disappears into the night of the outskirts of town When he arrives on the stage, the streetlights bow down And so he roams alone, only shadows follow him Until the morning at last turns off the lights on stage Mother's use him to scare their children: If you don't behave, he comes out of hiding And all the naughty children he will take with him That's what they say That's what they say That's what they say But he just silently disappears into the night of the outskirts of town When he arrives on the stage, the streetlights bow down And so he roams alone, only shadows follow him Until the morning at last turns off the lights on stage Who knows him and knows exactly What he wants and why he's in hiding? Who understands him and who judges him? Who judges him? Who judges him? Who judges him? But he just silently disappears into the night of the outskirts of town When he arrives on the stage, the streetlights bow down And so he roams alone, only shadows follow him Until the morning at last turns off the lights on stage And so he can be alone and doesn't want anything else He does remember his role without a prompter
