Me Without You - Wolf Am I! (And Shadow) lyrics

It's the smell of hot summertime trash It's the city noise of a busy street It's a train derailed and two car head-on freeway crash Each time we meet 'And if it comes as some sort of surprise' she said 'That I seem so composed I've kept this moment closer to my eyes' she said 'Than the gla**es resting on the edge of my nose' Shadow am I Shadow am I A question of a person, no said reply Wolf am I Wolf and shadow cast on the sheep as I pa** by Shadow am I Shadow am I Or like a wearing black socks And white woolen locks Wolf am I, and shadow She was graceful and green as a stem And I walk heavy on delicate ground Oh, there I go showing off again Self-impressed by how well I can put myself down And then I go again, to the next further removed level Of that same exact feigned humility And this for me goes on and on to the point of nausea Shadow am I Like suspicion that's never confirmed But it's never denied Wolf am I No, shadow I think is better As I'm not something more Like the absence of something So Shadow am I The material world seems to me Like a newspaper headline It explicitly demands your attention And it may even contain some truth But what's really going on here? One day the water's gonna wash it away One day the water's gonna wash it away One day the water's gonna wash it away And on that day One day the water's gonna wash it away One day the water's gonna wash it away Nothing clever to say, one day Nothing else to say
