Lyrics by Shoes

Silhouette (1984)
Composed by Gary Klebe

---

Wired for some action
Running straight for danger
With fire on my trail
Burning the bridges behind me

There's no more lookin' back
Or waiting' for a break
And nowhere left to hide
Your light that follows me

Is shining
Oh it's shining

Now the truth surrounds me
And no escape is easy
A shot rings through my ears
Love pulled the trigger on me

It shattered my defense
And cut me down to size
It never felt so good
It caught me by surprise

And you're shining
Oh you're shining

The last time left me high and dry
But here it comes again
Knockin' down my door

I waited for a showdown
The final confrontation
I had the nerves of steel
But not a bulletproof heart

It shattered my defense
And cut me down to size
It never felt so good
It caught me by surprise

And you're shining
Oh you're shining
