Lyrics

Sometimes I wander down back streets
Walking trouble off my mind
Though it may seem that my head's on straight
There's a bent that warps me late at night
I can't conceive it, much less believe that it will do me any good this time
Should you perceive it, just trust the feeling and we'll be shadows in this ol' weird light
 
Got my Dopp kit stashed under the back seat
Got the Hindenburg on my mind
In a new black suit, I'm dressed for hot pursuit
And should I light myself on fire
There's no distinction, either way I'm leaving a sheer image on your mind
Let's shake your walls, check out your ceiling and watch our shadows in this ol' weird light
 
I'm the boots left just inside your back door
I'm the promise that you swore you'd keep
We can talk about your see-through eyes
In the morning while you're fast asleep
My mind is reeling, can't shake the feeling
that there's never any end in sight
Can't help believing, getting used to seeing shadows in this ol' weird light
 
One night, I was kicking down Main Street
Just pretending that I was dead
She came on like a pile of cocaine
I got cigarette butts instead
Yeah, she was tricky, she likely saved me
She said everything would be alright
All she needed was to be seen as a shadow in this ol' weird light
 
Now, some may say that I get cold feet
That I have trouble making up my mind
Some might say that I'm the Sandman
A civil servant on a lonely night
There's no reason for distinction, you can call me what you want next time
Can't help believing, getting used to seeing those shadows in this ol' weird light
