Lyrics

Down on the midway
The shadows are creeping
The carnies are sleeping
The sawdust and sand
Next to the mad mouse
Just out of eye shot
House paint on canvas
The world's fading man
Inside a figure
Beckons closer
We were unsure
But we ran anyway
He said come in here quick
Cause you're burning daylight
We're caught in the twilight
With nothing to say
Is anybody here
Can you find my shadow
Like a slow burning candle
I thought it would last
It seems like I've lost
What was too hard to handle
Now there's less of my future
And more of my past
Smoke colored eyes
And a face made out of angles
A silhouette dangles
Like a drunk cigarette
She said what the hell
When she spied a stranger
And he felt the danger
From the sway of her hips
She looked in his eyes
The windows were broken
No curtains were hanging
Between him and the storm
She slid him a tumbler
Of shoe polish brandy
She said this comes in handy
When you need to stay warm
Is anybody here
Can you find my shadow
Like a slow burning candle
I thought it would last
It looks like I've lost
What was too hard to handle
Now there's less of my future
And more of my past
She said I miss you a lot
Wherever you've gone off
But I miss you more
When you're standing right here
You somehow seem real
When you're just a memory
You're more like a ghost
When you're standing so near
He said just cause you can't recall
Doesn't mean it didn't happen
And just cause you can't remember
It don't mean that it did
She watched him leave
And the clown swept up the spotlight
The man with no shadow
The world's fading man
Is anybody here
Can you find my shadow
Like a slow burning candle
I thought it would last
It seems like I've lost
What was too hard to handle
Now there's less of my future
And more of my past
Now there's less of my future
And more of my past
