Shadowland Lyrics

Released under watchful skies
Into a town I didn't recognise.
I was a tourist with no story,
Lost in his purgatory.
Escaped the smell of chalk and shame,
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,
Now filled with circus freaks.
Your plans are as useful as a baby's hand ?
There's no planning in Shadowland.

Shadowland, Shadowland, Shadowland ?

I chased 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, Shadowland, Shadowland ?

Weight loss, first frost, valium, sink fast,
Life coach, guru, I turn and I find you.
