I'm lookin' for good news

I'm hangin' around

A fresh lead and some new clues

And one ear to the ground

'Cause I've seen gloom

As common as rain

The worst in a sad slide

Is when I fail to see beyond the frame



Sometimes in the dark

Between streets, in alleys

An alibi can come undone

When the picture is enhanced

Some light on the subject

Is enough to keep me pushin' on



Gone deep cover

Not takin' the fall

The best kept of all secrets

Is no secret at all

'Cause I've seen liars

Thicker than thieves

Clouding the picture

So watch your step when everyone agrees



Sometimes in the dark

Between streets, in alleys

An alibi can come undone

When the picture is enhanced

Some light on the subject

Is enough to keep me pushin' on



And sometimes in the dark

It feels a little scary

Never know if help is near or far

And shadows make the smallest things

A little bigger than they are



[laughing]

And they are

Just a little bigger than they are

Than they are



Bump, stumblin' around

Stumblin' around

Bump, stumblin' around

Stumblin' I found



I've got news

And it's just fine

And the darkest of dark times

Still can't erase this little light of mine



Sometimes in the dark

Between streets, in alleys

An alibi can come undone

When the picture is enhanced

Some light on the subject

Is enough to keep me pushin' on



And sometimes in the dark

It feels a little scary

Never know if help is near or far

And shadows make the smallest things

A little bigger than they are



Sometimes in the dark
