Somebody's Shadow |
| I’ve seen her in the street light once |
| All edgy, black and white |
| A flash of incandescence |
| Shape shifting in the night |
| I spied her in a clearing |
| Out beyond the switching yard |
| I’ve seen her in a fever dream |
| And the Empress tarot card |
| On every crooked sidewalk |
| I’ve ever stumbled down |
| Where all roads lead to nowhere |
| On the other side of town |
| She’s leaning on a lamp post |
| Or slumped against the wall |
| Sneaking down the alley |
| Behind the billiard hall |
| There in a cafe window, a figure so forlorn |
| She’s making me the enemy of every oath I’ve sworn |
| Has anybody seen her now? |
| Pray tell me what you hear |
| 'Cause I just can’t get over |
| How she shed me like a tear |
| Somebody’s shadow |
| Is pullin' out the stops |
| Somebody’s shadow |
| Probably oughta call the cops |
| Somebody’s shadow |
| Is sneakin' up behind |
| Somebody’s shadow |
| Made a madhouse of my mind |
| A perfumed apparition |
| Out there fading into black |
| Somebody’s shadow |
| Like a neon heart attack |
| She’s lipstick on the Pall Mall butt |
| In an ashtray by the bed |
| Wine glass in the bathroom sink |
| And a porch light flaming red |
| Her eyes are cornsilk vapors |
| And her hair’s like oil drum fire |
| The hoot owls in the belfrey |
| Back-announce her heart’s desire |
| Is anybody out there now |
| And can you hear my voice? |
| The moondance on the rooftop |
| Is the phantom lady’s choice |
| Somebody’s shadow |
| Is making me a wreck |
| Somebody’s shadow |
| Like a noose around my neck |
| Somebody’s shadow |
| Is making me a slave |
| Somebody’s shadow |
| Is digging me my grave |
| This paradise called yesterday |
| Is what I miss the most |
| 'Cause somebody’s shadow |
| Still haunts me like a ghost |
