Throw the film across the light box
For to face another life shock
Sentiment leaves sediment
To wash away when it's been spent
We all see but no one's talking
Pretty lies and artful balking
Watch the girl of a thousand poses
Cry on cue for a love untold
She'll never take on loan
What you had and threw away
You got lost in the fray
She'll never take on loan
What you had and threw away
Every night and day
Shadows
Shadows
A fever broke and a hard rain came down
Steam in the streets of a grey suburban town
Ingenue make me forget
The awful business lies ahead
Sleep drags her away from me
To a place where she'll be free
And when she's given all she'll render
Wrap her up -return to sender
She'll never take on loan
What you had and threw away
You got lost in the fray
She'll never take on loan
What you had and threw away
Every night and day
Shadows
Shadows
Shadows on the lungs and liver
Fall across the poison river
Flows in you the Lord's elixir
Stand aside He's come to fix her
But he took you away
Shadows over joy abounding
On the hill a bugle's sounding
Call across the poison river
Time will sever all you give her
Then she'll take you away
She'll take you away
