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
