Walking On My Shadow's Head

You talk about law
you talk about fate
you talk about money
and finally hate
you're bringing me up
you're spinning me round
and I'm dancing now and you're shouting at me from the crowd
You talk about wars
you talk to the stars
you cry with my soul
from a window with bars
you spirit me out you follow me home
You're walking on my shadow's head
I'm never alone
You martyr the good
find food for the weak
you nourish the fool
with the wisdom you speak
you're haunting the man
who shows no remorse
You're walking on my shadow's head
and changing my course
You talk about wars
you talk to the stars
you cry with my soul
from a window with bars
you spirit me out you follow me home
You're walking on my shadow's head
I'm never alone
You mock the sinner
who's back of the street
not convinced by his lies
you attack him in sleep
then you punish the child
years after the deed
You're walking on my shadow's head
so I never cheat
You talk about wars
you talk to the stars
you cry with my soul
from a window with bars
you spirit me out you follow me home
You're walking on my shadow's head
I'm never alone
You martyr the good
find food for the weak
you nourish the fool
with the wisdom you speak
you're haunting the man
who shows no remorse
You're walking on my shadow's head
and changing my course
I thought I could handle myself, but you raised the alarm.
I was driven by ancient forces, and you were always with me --
breathing deeply, laughing freely, beating evil.
And for ever I can hear and see you, staring into the eyes of your endless faces
Never looking for escape, just a new shape
still talking, still talking
walking on my shadow's head
I will see you when we're all dead
walking on my shadow's head.
Still talking
walking on my shadow's head
