Shadow Man

Looking in the mirror and I realize
I'm not sure who's livin' there behind my eyes
A stranger that I haven't met
Just a dodgy silhouette
Stumblin' through the wreckage of my pretty plans
Throwin' cups of water to a drowning man
I can't shake the way it feels
Like I'm stalled on spinning wheels

Shadow man, shadow man
Just a hint of who I am
I need some clue to understand
Shadow man

Swimmin' at the bottom of the wishing well
I think I can't remember if I dove or fell
Every penny is some kid's dream
Every story has the same old theme
Knights in armor searchin' for the Holy Grail
I've run so many circles that I found my tail
Tryin' to put a face to a name
Does anybody know the rules of the game

For shadow man, shadow man
Just a hint of who I am
I need some clue to understand
Shadow man

Shadow man, shadow man
With a candle in your hand
Trace your steps back if you can
Shadow man, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the shadow
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Shadow man

For shadow man, shadow man
Just a hint of who I am
I need some clue to understand
Shadow man

Shadow man, shadow man
Trace your steps back if you can
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh...

Shadow man caught in the rain
Like a moth that's lost its flame
With no place to cast the blame
Shadow man, yeah, yeah, yeah
Shadow man, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, I'm a shadow
I'm a sh- I'm a sh-
I'm a shadow man
I just can't help it
