PICK UP YOUR SHADOW Songtext
von Whitey

He never made his way back to the dawn
Where is the man who held it all
I lost him somewhere in the night

I tried to pick my shadow from the ground
It reached back up and pulled me down
And put its hands across my eyes

It told me "I, I am a walking ghost
In my ragged clothes
With my empty hands
I, I saw the parasites
I saw the socialites
I saw the secret plans"

"I, I am a walking ghost
In my ragged clothes
With my empty hands
I, I saw the parasites
I saw the socialites
I saw the secret plans"


The fading ones fall through the cracks
I watch their shadows climb their backs
And ride them straight into the ground
Dram ′em down

So as I walk, I watch another walkin' along
Who plays a part in all that I′ve done
And just repeats a simple song

It told me "I, I am a walking ghost
In my ragged clothes
With my empty hands
I, I saw the parasites
I saw the socialites
I saw the secret plans"

"I, I am a walking ghost
In my ragged clothes
With my empty hands
I, I saw the parasites
I saw the socialites
I saw the secret plans"

Go where you go
All the words that I can't know
All the words that I won't know
You′re as lonely as a soul without a


I′ll never change, never go
What's that story as it′s told
For a world without a sound

I see the secret plans

For a world without a sound

I see the secret plans

For a world without a sound

I see the secret plans

I see the secret plans

I see the secret plans

I see the secret plans

I see the secret plans
