(jagger/richards)



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
