Mr. Shadow, Ever since you were a boy You walked the earth in search of every ounce of Daylight that you could destroy
And I feel you, When I push people down the stairs, I like the small fleeting power that I feel when I catch them unawares Oh-woah-oh!
Dreams come and dreams go, But there's just one nightmare, It's the one where all the winds blow, And there's fiery ash in the air And Mr. Shadow's always there, Mr. Shadow's always there Oooh Ooh Ooh Oooh Ooh Ooh
Behind every dark curtain And every dying tree, He's in the final breaths you take when you're Drowning in the lake because of me
And he hides, He hides in broad daylight, And if you stare directly into him he'll surely Play a trick upon your sight Oh woah oh!
Daylight comes and daylight goes, But it's always dark somewhere, And if you know what the hangman knows, You know that death is everywhere And Mr. Shadow doesn't care, Mr. Shadow doesn't care
Human rights and celebrities Can't do anything to stop him When he goes to take His bites out of you and me
Oooh Oooh
Mr. Shadow, Tell me now is it true ‒ You give us six more weeks of sorrow When some Punxsutawney dog sees you? Yeah!
