The Shadow

From Total Devo1988

Lyrics

The Shadow

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde A real nice guy with a n-n-n-n-nasty side In trouble, he tried to hide from himself Good gawd, sad man Couldn't face up to the yin and the yang Everybody, all of us got a "Shadow" Who knows what lurks In the hearts of men The Shadow knows We become what we do Not what we pretend Between the intention And the expression Between the emotion And the response Falls The Shadow Sometimes I fail to follow through On things that I want to do And other times I find myself Doing the very things I hate Reverend Jimmy and Tammy Belle Big time pumpers with a story to sell Wait a minute, their finger's pointing at you Pay attention, listen up Don't try to deny it or cover it up Everybody, all of us got a "Shadow"
