Lyrics
Shadowland
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's an ill wind blowing like a full force gale
It's a long dark night on a long dark trail
Some joker stumbles and everybody falls
Times like these make a man feel small...
Ain't nothin' but the rust belt blues
Ain't nothin' but yesterday's news
Down in shadowland...
Down in shadowland...
There's a man on the corner yelling Jesus saves
Well I hope he saved a lot gonna need it these days
Use to be that you reap what you sow
Now it's not what but who you know...
Ain't nothin' but the rust belt blues
Ain't nothin' but yesterday's news
Down in shadowland...
In shadowland...
Down in shadowland...
In shadowland...
Well the last man standing gets to walk on the graves
And the sky is the color of blood as it fades...
Ain't nothin' but a punch-drunk time
Ain't nothin' but the scene of the crime...
Ain't nothin' but the rust belt blues
Ain't nothin' but yesterday's news
Down in shadowland...
Down in shadowland...
Ain't nothin' but the rust belt blues
Ain't nothin' but yesterday's news
Down in shadowland...
Down in shadowland...
Down in shadowland...
In shadowland...
