Shadows Cross the Shadows
Vo cal Dub
Take 1
Shadows cross the shadows
that are cloudin' up my mind
From the far -reaching silence
that is leaving me behind
To the forewarned observers
of the non -committed faith
With unobtrusive morals
built in just the best of taste
The weatherman grows
restless in his warning
Threatening thunder showers
soon be swarming
With fascination in his words
of many varied kinds
As shadows cross the shadows
that are clouding up my mind
Boring institutions hov
er over my great fright
As hypnotic revelations
split the stillness of the night
Color patterns mingle dancing
through the room of jade
Blue and red have in tergrown
and silently they fade
Flowers growing on my bedroom wall
Fading on a righteous nature's call
With all fortunes disappearing
into passing time
Shadows cross the shadows
that are clouding up my mind
Scientists and doctors
work on cures and remedies
To combat ills and weaknesses
that any fool could see
Desperately they clutch
through misty eye and foggy brain
Trying to trace the pattern
so it looks the same again
For fame, for truth
and for fantastic beauty
The game goes on as if in solemn duty
And cowards sit and pray
for their redemption bells to chime
And shad ows
cross the shadows
that are clouding up my mind
You
