Driving down E Street at night Just under the Ninth Street bridge That's where the shadows lie They're hiding under the ridge I can't run away from them Well I shoulda known better Not to try and face the shadow If I gather up the courage I will try again tomorrow On the corner of Seventh Street Just outside the Coney Isle It's a shadow just for me It's been hiding the whole while I can't run away from them Well I shoulda known better Not to try and face the shadow If I gather up the courage I will try again tomorrow Well I shoulda known better Not to try and face the shadow If I gather up the courage I will try again tomorrow I can't run away from them Well I didn't know better And I tried to face the shadow As I gather up my courage They will strike me down tomorrow Well I shoulda known better Not to try and face the shadow If I gather up the courage I will try again tomorrow Well I shoulda known better Not to try and face the shadow If I gather up the courage I will try again tomorrow
