Wolf Am I! (and Shadow) Lyrics - Me Without You

It's the smell of hot summertime trash 

It's the city noise of a busy street 

It's a train derailed and two car head-on freeway crash 

Each time we meet 

'And if it comes as some sort of surprise' she said 

'That I seem so composed 

I've kept this moment closer to my eyes' she said 

'Than the glasses resting on the edge of my nose' 

Shadow am I 

Shadow am I 

A question of a person, no said reply 

Wolf am I 

Wolf and shadow cast on the sheep as I pass by 

Shadow am I 

Shadow am I 

Or like a wearing black socks 

And white woolen locks 

Wolf am I, and shadow 

She was graceful and green as a stem 

And I walk heavy on delicate ground 

Oh, there I go showing off again 

Self-impressed by how well I can put myself down 

And then I go again, to the next further removed level 

Of that same exact feigned humility 

And this for me goes on and on to the point of nausea 

Shadow am I 

Like suspicion that's never confirmed 

But it's never denied 

Wolf am I 

No, shadow I think is better 

As I'm not something more 

Like the absence of something 

So Shadow am I 

The material world seems to me 

Like a newspaper headline 

It explicitly demands your attention 

And it may even contain some truth 

But what's really going on here? 

One day the water's gonna wash it away 

One day the water's gonna wash it away 

One day the water's gonna wash it away 

And on that day 

One day the water's gonna wash it away 

One day the water's gonna wash it away 

Nothing clever to say, one day 

Nothing else to say
