Flies in your window
Junk in your mail
Some ragged old sorrow
Hot on your trail

No-one comes to you
Not even in your dreams
There ain't nothing moving through you
It's all as bad as it seems

She is a shadow
Of something you wanted
How badly you wanted it
It still drives you insane

You're a dirty man to want her
And you were junk for letting go
You're a fool to even wanna be around her
Those other people you don't even wanna know

You can't hold up in
Close to your heart
You can't hold up in
You just tear things apart

You better leave
Leave a reed shadow
A late night reed shadow
To the ivory room

You better leave
Leave a reed shadow
A late night reed shadow
To the ivory room

She is a shadow
Of something you wanted
How badly you wanted it
It still drives you insane
