the shadow knows - skyway man lyrics
dropped down beneath big city lights
shined so bright only my shadow could see
he said “take me to the window, boy
let me learn how to talk
did all the talking for me
talked to a voodoo man
opened his mind
talked to a lawyer
on the fine points of crime
but when he saw her picture
with party dress on, said things
made me think
“maybe my shadow is wrong”
(little girl), you don’t understand
(what it’s like) to have your shadow
wandering ‘round like a man
(just sing) to the river fall
down into your grave go fall down
don’t make a mess out of me.”
(go fall down.)
rolling slow over hot summer streets
pulled into station about quarter to three
my shadow had a notion to cool off
with a swim, he said
“you’ve opened my mind
now let’s jump in!”
maybe that mystic
must’ve opened his soul
or discoursing with the driver on the
great open road could have been
her picture with party dress on
come to think, where is my shadow?
(oh no!) my shadow is gone!
he was gone, lost
slipped into the stream
i dried off in the air
humming bright melody
should’ve gone to see her first
you know that would have been right
after all she meant to me
knocked on the door
because the lock had been changed
peeked through the window feeling
all kinds of strange
her and my shadow, godd-mn
i’m the only one to blame
as i walked away, she called my name
(little boy,) you think you love me but
you don’t understand
(you don’t need) a talkin’ shadow
to make you a man (just sing)
sing to the river fall into your grave
the darkness you keep
is the shadow you save. godd-mn!
