Released under watchful skies 

into a town I didn't recognize 

I was a tourist with no story, 

lost in this purgatory 

Escaped the smell of chalk and shame, 

I pledged a classroom in my name 

The PTA won't bless me 

and the yearbook will assess me, yeah 



I walked down these familiar streets, 

they're filled with circus freaks 

Your plans are as useful as baby's hand, 

there's no planning in shadow, shadowland 



Shadowland (eight times) 



I chase you round the chimney stacks, 

the burnt earth pressed into our backs 

It was so dark I just don't know what I kissed 

and I couldn't even see what I missed 

You walked me across freedom fields, 

my shadow was a forcefield 

I want to float upon my memories, 

not sink into the gloaming seas of shadowland 



Shadowland (fifteen times) 



Weight loss, first frost, valium, sink fast
