"The Shadow Man"
Words by Brent Bowman. Music by Hair Knight.
Appears on Bridges & Snakes

I'm not a person. I'm just a thing.
I'm just a possession, a bridegroom's wedding ring.
I'm not a lover. I'm not a fool.
I'm not a mechanic, I'm just his fucking tool.

I'm the shadow man, never on my own.
I'm the shadow man, yet I am always alone.
I'm the shadow man. It's not me you see.
It's the goddess of the amber lights that's got a hold on me.

I'm not an actor. I'm just a prop.
I'm just a one-night stand, a one-night flop.
I'm not a musician. I'm not a star.
I'm not a drinker but I sit at the bar.

I'm the shadow man, never on my own.
I'm the shadow man, yet I am always alone.
I'm the shadow man. It's not me you see.
It's the goddess of the amber lights that's got a hold on me.

I'm not a poet, I just like to rhyme.
I would be a watchmaker if I could find the time.
I'm not very handsome, I'm just a face.
I'm not muy popular. I'm just a disgrace.

I'm the shadow man, never on my own.
I'm the shadow man, yet I am always alone.
I'm the shadow man. It's not me you see.
It's the goddess of the amber lights that's got a hold on me.

(We rock a mike but we don't understand
We rock a mike but we don't understand
We rock a mike but we don't understand
how you make two white guys Rasta-men.
We rock a mike but we don't understand it's twice
We rock a mike but we don't understand it's twice
We rock a mike but we don't understand it's twice
how you make-a pasta!
Kick it, Bowman!)

I'm the shadow man, never on my own.
I'm the shadow man, yet I am always alone.
I'm the shadow man. It's not me you see.
It's the goddess of the amber lights that's got a hold on me.
