[Verse 1]
Well, you know your time has come
And you're sorry for what you've done
You shoulda never have been playing with a gun
In those complicated shadows

[Verse 2]
Well, there's a line that you must toe
And it'll soon be time to go
But it's darker than you know
In those complicated shadows

[Bridge]
All you gangsters and rude clowns
Who were shooting up the town
When you should have found someone
To put the blame on
Though the fury's hot and hard
I still see that cold graveyard
There's a solitary stone
That's got your name on

[Verse 3]
You don't have to take it from me
But I know what I spake
You think you're like iron and steel
But iron and steel will bend and break
In those complicated shadows
Go!
[Bridge]
Sometimes justice, you will find
Is just dumb, not colour-blind
And your poor shattered mind
Can't take it all in
All those phantoms and those shades
Should jump up on Judgement Day
And say to the Almighty
"I'm still stinking of sin"

[Verse 4]
But the jury was dismissed
Took his neck and they give it a twist
So you see you won't be missed
In those complicated shadows

[Verse 5]
You can say just what you like
In a voice like a John Ford film
Take the law into your hands
You will soon get tired of killing
In those complicated shadows
Complicated shadows
Complicated shadows
Complicated shadows
Go!
