"Me And My Shadow" lyrics
"Me And My Shadow"
(feat. Zooey Deschanel)
There is a singer everyone has heard
At night he turns into a Mockingbird
If I whistle in the dark, he'll do that too
I met him on the road
At the close of day
He talk like me, he walk this way
I said, "Mockingbird, you ain't no innovator"
And there is a singer everybody knows
He makes rounds of the late night shows
Shake the hands of the host
And the masquerade is on
You turn him off on the radio
And he say "me and my shadow"
Shoot out the lights my shadow's gone
Down at the bottom of the Kelena Bay
Find my raychad I can see your face
If I'm tied up to the tracks
Then he's tied up to the road
Down at the bottom of the Kelena Bay
And it's one for the money, two for the show
For me and my shadow
Shoot out the lights and my shadow's gone
Shoot out the lights and my shadow... gone
There is a shadow everyone has heard
At night he turns into a Mockingbird
If I whistle in the dark, he'll do that too
I have met him on the road today
A silhouette on a black highway
I said "You can have this world
This world is not my home"
Then he said " You can keep this world
This world is not my home"

The Tallest Man On Earth - "I Won't Be Found" Well if I ever see the morning
just like a lizard in the Spring
I'm gonna run out in the meadow
to catch the silence where it sings.
I'm gonna force the Serengeti
to disappear into my eyes
and when...
Neko Case - "That Teenage Feeling" Now that we've met
We can only laugh at these regrets
Common as a winter cold
They're telephone poles
They follow each other
One, after another, after another
But now my heart is green as weeds...
Josh Ritter - "Hopeful" Supposedly it was a wise wise man
who said it’s better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all, never to have loved.
How many times does the truth that you take to be true
Is just...
The New Pornographers - "My Shepherd" Glass-work shards decorate this house
We're tossing lust darts out windows
The splash and jangle of the secret signs
Defined, you claimed, some golden ages
A promise
You always love short...
Great Lake Swimmers - "Still" I'm still turning myself to the great key, I'm still, I'm still
I'm still mining for light in dark wells, I'm still, I'm still
I'm still a frequency swaying, a leaf in the wind, I'm still, I'm still...
