Lyrics Mr. Shadow - Dick Valentine

Mr. Shadow

Mr. Shadow
Ever since you were a boy
You walked the earth
In search of every ounce
Of daylight that you could destroy
And I feel you
When I push people down the stairs
I like the small fleet of power that I feel
When I catch them unawares
Dreams come and dreams go
But there’s just one nightmare
It’s the one where all the winds blow
And there’s fiery ash in the air
And Mr. Shadow’s always there
Behind every dark curtain
And every dying tree
He’s in the final breath you take
When you’re drowning in the lake because of me
And he hides
He hides in broad daylight
And if you stare directly into him
He’ll surely play a trick upon your sight
Whoa whoa ohh
Daylight comes
And daylight goes
And if you know what the hangman knows
You know that death is everywhere
And Mr. Shadow doesn’t care
Mr. Shadow doesn’t care
Human rights and celebrities
Can’t do anything to stop him
When he goes to take his bites out of you and me
Mr. Shadow
Tell me now is it true
You give us six more weeks of sorrow
When some Punxsutawney dog sees you
