Suede - Autofiction: Expanded

Shadow Self

Close the curtains, dim the lights
Don't be offended by your faith tonight
And track the motion of her body in space
She is the centre of her rage

"Shut up", she said, "I don't want nobody" (uh, huh)
"I'll dance with my shadow self!" (uh, huh, huh)
"Shut up", she said, "I don't want nobody" (uh, huh)
"I'll dance with my shadow self!" (uh, huh, huh)

It doesn't matter what you think
When you're not a person, you're just a thing
We have time tomorrow, 'cause we have found today
We are the centre of our rage

"Shut up", she said, "I don't want nobody" (uh, huh)
"I'll dance with my shadow self" (uh, huh, huh)
"Shut up", she said, "I don't want nobody" (uh, huh)
"I'll dance with my shadow self" (uh, huh, huh)

"Shut up", she said, "I don't want nobody" (uh, huh)
"I'll dance with my shadow self!" (uh, huh, huh)
"Shut up", she said, "I don't want nobody" (uh, huh)
"I'll dance with my shadow self!" (uh, huh)

Uh, huh, uh, huh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
