๐ Lyrics
I seen her in the streetlight once, all edgy, black and white
A flash of incandescence, shape-shifting in the night
I spied her in the clearing, out beyond the switching yard
I seen her in a fever dream, and the emperor's 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 leanin' on a lamp post, or slumped against the wall
Sneaking down the alley, behind the billiard hall
There in a cafรฉ 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 ought to call the cops
Somebody's shadow is sneaking up behind
Somebody's shadow made a mad house of my mind
A perfume apparition out there, fading into black
Somebody's shadow like a neon heart attack
She's lipstick on the pill mill, but in an ashtray by the bed
Wine glass in the bathroom, sink and a porch light flamin' red
Her eyes are corn silt vapor and her hair is like oil drum fire
The hoot owl is in the belfry backing out for a heart's desire
Is anybody out there now, and can you hear my voice?
The moon dance on the rooftop is the phantom lady's choice
Somebody's shadow is makin' me a wreck
Somebody's shadow like a noose around my neck
Somebody's shadow is makin' 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
A flash of incandescence, shape-shifting in the night
I spied her in the clearing, out beyond the switching yard
I seen her in a fever dream, and the emperor's 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 leanin' on a lamp post, or slumped against the wall
Sneaking down the alley, behind the billiard hall
There in a cafรฉ 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 ought to call the cops
Somebody's shadow is sneaking up behind
Somebody's shadow made a mad house of my mind
A perfume apparition out there, fading into black
Somebody's shadow like a neon heart attack
She's lipstick on the pill mill, but in an ashtray by the bed
Wine glass in the bathroom, sink and a porch light flamin' red
Her eyes are corn silt vapor and her hair is like oil drum fire
The hoot owl is in the belfry backing out for a heart's desire
Is anybody out there now, and can you hear my voice?
The moon dance on the rooftop is the phantom lady's choice
Somebody's shadow is makin' me a wreck
Somebody's shadow like a noose around my neck
Somebody's shadow is makin' 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
