Shadow Man

Lyrics

No one knows you but they all love you Just don't let them get too much of you Careful man Don't forget, you're the shadow man Look how many believe they need you Look how many tried to read you No one can You get off on it, shadow man And so you smile your smile And fool those fools you care about You've got it all You've got the whole thing figured out Well haven't you? Just confuse 'em with smoke and static Make 'em think that you enigmatic That's the plan You're the best at it, shadow man And when anyone penetrated The illusion that you created Off you ran You're too fast for them, shadow man No emotional complication That would ruin your reputation Every fan, needs a fantasy shadow man If they could see behind the smile And find the fear and doubt They'd turn away They'd have the whole thing figured out Well wouldn't they? No one knows you but they all love you Just don't let them get too much of you Careful man Don't you forget, you're the shadow man Every day now I see you clearer You're the mystery in the mirror Man to man Tell me what's the plan? Tell me how long can you be a shadow man
