Lyrics
Tarlabashi Shuffle
Walking alone, big cities and towns, unknown.
Strange tongues, my shadow and I take them in without a sound.
And we look at pretty things, but we never ever look down.
One day I asked my shadow, “Where do you go when the sun go down?”
He lay there on the sidewalk and said, “I go to the seedy parts of town, and when I come back I fill your head with crazy dreams,
and things you’ve never seen.”
He says he’s a part of me that sees things the other way around…
He says he’s a part of the night that lives the whole day long.
I said “wait a minute you’re my shadow,
I mean I know you, you’re my shadow.”
He laughed and said “look at me boy,
Don’t you see how I blacken things right out.
Most people are bad at being good,
You gotta be good getting away with being bad.”
He says he’s a part of me who sees things the other way around.
He says he’s a part of the night who lives the whole day long.
So me and my shadow, we go walking around
Me and my shadow, we go walking all around town
We look at pretty things, but we never ever look down.
My shadow’s a part of me who sees things the other way around
My shadow’s a part of the night that lives the whole day long.
