Mr. Shadow - Dick Valentine

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
