Shadowland Songtext
von Lynne Hanson
Shadowland Songtext
Well my mamma never took the time
To teach me right from wrong
I never really loved you
But I wrote it in a song
I′m a snake oil hustler
With nowhere left to hide
Just a lonely little wrangler
Trying to hitch a ride
Jump - how high
Jump - how low
Lowbrow c'mon now
Round and round we go
Can you feel the ocean rising
It just might pull us in
Well I think we′re gonna need a bigger boat
Cause I can't swim
We're all animals
Packed into this cage
Scratching and clawing
And sleeping off the rage
Here I am in the corner
With my back against the wall
Have you seen my dignity
I think I lost it in The Fall
My daddy was a preacher
I didn′t know him all that well
One hand on the bible
Both feet bound for hell
Truth, lie, no surprise
You can′t unring that bell
Tell me all your dirty secrets
I promise I won't tell
Jump - how high
Jump - how low
Lowbrow c′mon now
Round and round we go
We're all animals
Packed into this cage
Scratching and clawing
And sleeping off the rage
Here I am in the corner
With my back against the wall
Have you seen my dignity
I think I lost it in The Fall
Jump - how high
Jump - how low
Lowbrow c′mon now
Round and round we go
Can you feel the ocean rising
It just might pull us in
Well I think we're gonna need a bigger boat
Cause I can′t swim
To teach me right from wrong
I never really loved you
But I wrote it in a song
I′m a snake oil hustler
With nowhere left to hide
Just a lonely little wrangler
Trying to hitch a ride
Jump - how high
Jump - how low
Lowbrow c'mon now
Round and round we go
Can you feel the ocean rising
It just might pull us in
Well I think we′re gonna need a bigger boat
Cause I can't swim
We're all animals
Packed into this cage
Scratching and clawing
And sleeping off the rage
Here I am in the corner
With my back against the wall
Have you seen my dignity
I think I lost it in The Fall
My daddy was a preacher
I didn′t know him all that well
One hand on the bible
Both feet bound for hell
Truth, lie, no surprise
You can′t unring that bell
Tell me all your dirty secrets
I promise I won't tell
Jump - how high
Jump - how low
Lowbrow c′mon now
Round and round we go
We're all animals
Packed into this cage
Scratching and clawing
And sleeping off the rage
Here I am in the corner
With my back against the wall
Have you seen my dignity
I think I lost it in The Fall
Jump - how high
Jump - how low
Lowbrow c′mon now
Round and round we go
Can you feel the ocean rising
It just might pull us in
Well I think we're gonna need a bigger boat
Cause I can′t swim
