Lyrics for Shadow Self

Close the curtains and dim the lights Don't be offended by her sight tonight And track the motion of her body in space She is the centre of her rage "Shut up," she said, "I don't want nobody (oh-oh) I'll dance with my shadow self" (oh-oh-oh) "Shut up," she said, "I don't want nobody (oh-oh) I'll dance with my shadow self" (oh-oh-oh) It doesn't matter what you think When you're not a person, you're just a thing We have time tomorrow 'cause we have found today We are the centre of our rage "Shut up," she said, "I don't want nobody (oh-oh) I'll dance with my shadow self" (oh-oh-oh) "Shut up," she said, "I don't want nobody (oh-oh) I'll dance with my shadow self" (oh-oh-oh) "Shut up," she said, "I don't want nobody (oh-oh) I'll dance with my shadow self" (oh-oh-oh) "Shut up," she said, "I don't want nobody (oh-oh) I'll dance with my shadow self" (oh-oh) Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
