Shadow People

Shadow people, will sing their headsIn the corner next to youWhen the light is redIf you're thinkin' to lookYou may be thinkin' at painI guessed that pretty muchIt can call you awayShadow people in a shadow landLike I'm thinkin' at the great oneAnd the other comes worseThat one is trapped on a gunAnd turned up with a herdThat one is set on the waterGot some foodFor the war that's comin'And the Judgement DayShadow people in a shadow landAnd this one carries a gun for the USAHe's a 20'th century manAnd he's scarry as hellCause he isn't afraidHe will destroy anythingYou don't understandWhen I aim at leftAnd I aimto the rightI ain't even sureI got a dog in the spineAnd I'm in needI ain't got time to breatheI feel like shadows are falling all over meLike shadow people in shadow landsShadow people in shadow landShadow people in shadow landWaiting for the sun to be split over thereI ain't got any shadow at all
