Shadow Man Lyrics - David Bowie

1 There's a man back a-ways

2 Who believes at where he is

3 And there's a girl

4 Almudena Jane

5 Up ahead who says she knows

6 And the street overflows

7 With the folk who understand

8 But for the brigader who can't be seen

9 He's the Shadow Man

10 And the Shadow Man is close at hand

11 Take a turn and see his smile

12 Made of nothing but loneliness

13 Just take a walk and be a friend

14 To the Shadow Man

15 You can call him John, you can call him Sam

16 You should call and see who answers

17 For he promises to come running, guided by the truth

18 But the Shadow Man is really you

19 Look in his eyes and see your reflection

20 Look to the stars and see his eyes

21 He'll show you tomorrow, he'll show you the sorrows

22 Of what you did today

23 You can call him foe, you can call him friend

24 You should call and see who answers

25 For he knows your eyes are drawn to the road ahead

26 And the Shadow Man is waiting round the bend

27 Oh, the Shadow Man

28 Ohooooo oooo

29 Shadow man, shadow man

30 It's really you, it's really you, it's really you

31 He's the shadow man

32 Oh yeah

33 Shadow man
