I've been living on day to day
Born in the morning and dead when I hit the bed
A tired horse on the merry-go-round
Up, down 'til we end at the start
Looking for where I might have buried this heart
Somewhere in the infinite sprawl
Last night I dreamt I was the leading man
The room faded to black, the fanfare began
As I delivered my opening line
Just then the velvet curtain came crashing down
I hid my face and tried running away
But my feet were sinking into the ground
Oh, oh, Shadow Man
Come save me now if you can
I don't know who I am
And my life is in your hands
Oh, oh, Shadow Man
Come save me now if you can
I don't know who I am
And my life is in your hands
Voices coming out of the dark
They echo back, they echo back when I call
And the messengers get tangled up
So I shuffle like a grain in the hourglass
Until it's my turn to take the fall
I'm drowning ever so slow
Oh, oh, Shadow Man
Come save me now if you can
I don't know who I am
And my life is in your hands
Oh, oh, Shadow Man
Come save me now if you can
I don't know who I am
And my life is in your hands
I'm well aware of what's going on
Down in the depths of the ocean
Yes, I'm well aware of what's going on
Oh, oh, Shadow Man
Come save me now if you can
I don't know who I am
And my life is in your hands
Oh, oh, Shadow Man
Come save me now if you can
I don't know who I am
And my life is in your hands
And my life is in your hands
(Oh, oh, Shadow Man)
So come save me now if you can
(Oh, oh, Shadow Man)
My life is in your hands
(Oh, oh, Shadow Man)
Come save me now if you can
