SHADOW



Shadow, Shadow, they say they love you so bright.
Yes, they say they do, but it's just a shadowy night.
And yes, I say, don't be carried away by their light.
Yes, I say yes, it's just a shadow, not feeling right.

They? Yes, they know it's shadow; it's true.
They know it's shadow, and that's all they do.
Check well, please check well, and don't be slow.
Check and say to me, and let your heart glow.

Hahahahah, you see, you see just Shadow at last.
Hahaha, it's all a shadow that will forever last.
