There is a singer everyone has heard At night he turns into a mockingbird 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 some rounds in late night show Shake the hands of the host and the masquerade is on You turn him off on the radio When 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 raychad I can see your face If I'm tied up to the tracks Then he's tied up to the road Down at the bottom of the kelena bay 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, gone There is a shadow everyone has heard At night he turns into a mockingbird If I whistle in the dark, he'll do that too I have met him on the road today A silhouette on a black highway I said: "You can have this world This world is not my own" Then he said: "You can keep this world This world is not my home"
