Pick Up Your Shadow
[Intro: acapella]
[Verse 1]
He never made his way back to the dawn
Where is the man who held it all?
I lost him, somewhere in the night
I tried to pick my shadow from the ground
It reached back up and pulled me down
And put its hands across my eyes
It told me:
[Chorus]
I...
I am a walking ghost
In my ragged clothes
With my empty hands
I...
I saw the parasites
I saw the socialites
I saw the secret plans
I... (Ahh)
I am a walking ghost
In my ragged clothes
With my empty hands
I... (Ahh)
I saw the parasites
I saw the socialites
I saw the secret plans
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
The fading ones fall through the cracks
I watch their shadows climb their backs
And ride them straight into the ground
Drag them down, so as I walk
I watch another walking along
Who plays a part in all that I've done
And just repeats a simple song:
’You were wrong, you were wrong'
It told me:
[Chorus]
I... (Ahh)
I am a walking ghost
In my ragged clothes
With my empty hands
I... (Ahh)
I saw the parasites
I saw the socialites
I saw the secret plans
I...
I am a walking ghost
In my ragged clothes
With my empty hands
I...
I saw the parasites
I saw the socialites
I saw the secret plans
[Bridge]
Go where you go
All the words that I don't know
All the lines that I don’t mind
You're as lonely as a song without a sound
Never change, never go
Watch the story as it's told
From a world without a sound
(I see the secret plans)
From a world without a sound
(I've seen the secret plans)
[Outro]
I've seen the secret plans
I've seen the secret plans
I've seen the secret plans
I've seen the secret plans
