Following My Shadow

Sun shone only in the west today
Burned like hell on the worst of days
I've seen a bead of sweat
Turn to steam on the asphalt

I'm heading out from the western hills
It's where I live these days, where I pay the bills
I can't help it
Sometimes I just have to leave it all

It doesn't all make sense to me
To be free to be or to be free from me
It's a conundrum
It's inescapable, you see

The sun is low, the shadows long
I'll follow them to find a song
That could lead me
That could me back home

I'm Following My Shadow again
I wish I knew to what end
I'm following this shadow
And it's taking me down the road

They said it'll be alright with me
Just as soon as I turn twenty-three
Now I believe it'll be alright
I believe it'll be alright
I believe it'll be alright

I didn't think that I could take much more
If I ever got twenty-four
Now I believe it'll be alright
I believe it'll be alright

The sidewalk's sizzling and there's no shade
The only shade's what my body's made
It's a desolated promenade
That steals my breath

But something turns me the eastern plains
Perhaps a fragment still remains
Of a life
Of a life of a thousand deaths

Sun shone only in the west today
Burned like hell on the worst of days
I saw a bead of sweat
Turn to steam on the asphalt

I'm heading out from the western hills
It's where I live these days, where I pay the bills
I can't help it
Sometimes I just have to leave it all

I'm Following My Shadow again
I wish I knew to what end
I'm following this shadow
And it's taking me down the road

They said it'll be alright with me
Just as soon as I turn twenty-three
Now I believe it'll be alright
I believe it'll be alright

I didn't think that I could take much more
If I ever got twenty-four
Now I believe it'll be alright
I believe it'll be alright
I believe it'll be alright
I believe it'll be alright
