Lyrics

[Verse 1] When you add your voice to bad choices Then your not-so-white becomes mannered Stripping down the walls like quicksilver Dripping down as slowly as solvent [Bridge 1] And for you, the Pulitzer Prize For stepping into traffic Now the new, the Americas You broke through, you're laughing [Verse 2] We have found no use for the profane Searching for the gods in our corners With the ignorance of a poet An unbreakable focus of mortars [Chorus] Darling, shade or shadow Darling, shade or shadow [Verse 3] Was the singer from the bad choices Or a singer without a pretense When you give your mind to your voices You accept the terms of your sentence [Bridge 2] And for you the Pulitzer Prize For time served, you're walking Now the new, the Americas You broke through, it's nothing [Chorus] Darling, shade or shadow Darling, shade or shadow [Verse 4] You can get to climb the new tower Thinking you could learn a new language Don't you want to turn a few favors Since you left everybody hanging [Chorus] Darling, shade or shadow Darling, shade or shadow Darling, shade or shadow Darling, shade or shadow
