You're an empty doll in the power--of--a   fool

If it looks like rain,      if it makes no sound

It's an echo of pain on common ground

Love's like a junkie,       addiction's a fact

Passion's a monkey you can't keep off your back

He's just an iceman honey, ain't got no heart of gold

But he sees you and he runs from you

            Gm7                           F
Come on and shake this shadow that you're clinging to

          Bb                  F
And he'll hurt you, And he'll run from you

Come on and shake this shadow that you're, clinging to
