M. Ward - Me and My Shadow lyrics

There is a singer everyone has heard At night he turns into a mocking bird If I whistle in the dark, he'll do that, too I met him on the road at the close of day He talk like me, he walk this way I said, "Mocking bird, you ain't no innovator" And there is a singer everybody knows He makes the rounds of the late-night shows Shake the hand of the host and the masquerade is on You turn him off the radio And he say, "Me and my shadow" Shoot out the lights and my shadow's gone Down at the bottom of the Kelena Bay Find my ... Down at the bottom of the Kelena Bay If I'm tied up to the tracks He's chained up to the road And it's one for the money, two for the show For me and my shadow Shoot out the lights and my shadow is gone Shoot out the lights and my shadow is gone There is a shadow everyone has heard At night he turns into a mocking bird If I whistle in the dark, he'll do that, too I met him on the road today A silhouette on a black highway I said, "You can have this world, this world is not my home" And then he said, "You can keep this world, this world is not my home"
