The way you let your grace enrapture me,
When well you know I'd be insane
To ever let that dirty game recapture me.You made me a shadowboxer, baby.
I wanna be ready for what you do.
I been swinging all around me
'Cause I don't know when you're gonna make your move.”

Another voice calling me baby on the other end of the phone.

No other shotgun rider, beside me, singin' to the radio.
Oh, oh. Oh, oh.”

“Baby,
Oh the secret's safe with me.
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be.
And baby don't it feel like I'm all alone?
Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown
And I've lost my way back home?
I think nobody knows, no.
I said nobody knows.
Nobody cares.It's win or lose, not how you play the game.
And the road to darkness has a way
Of always knowing my name.
But I think nobody knows,
No no.
Nobody knows, no no no no.”
