Gary Numan
My Shadow in Vain
[Verse 1]
Stroll to the cafe, my God, how time flies
I close up my brain and another friend dies
I feel like a mirror, feel like nothing is mine
I could go back to crying, but now dying seems fine

[Verse 2]
So I hang from the ceiling or I sit on the air
I'll rot in the corner until somebody cares
Faces at random, I quote people I knew
I'd love to be like me if I could feel like you

[Chorus]
Here am I, more Roche 5 than pain
Here am I, just me and my walls to blame
Here am I, I really don't feel quite sane
Here am I, still searching for my shadow in vain

[Post-Chorus]
Lock my door, I only think in black and white
I'll even try to look ashamed

[Verse 3]
Moving out of central, somebody knows me well
Says he'll spill the whole story, he may be lying, I can't tell
Meet me inside, I'll keep my head to the floor
And one hand on the handle of the mad-sane door
[Chorus]
Here am I, more Roche 5 than pain
Here am I, just me and my walls to blame
Here am I, I really don't feel quite sane
Here am I, still searching for my shadow in vain

[Post-Chorus]
Lock my door, I only think in black and white
I'll even try to look ashamed

[Outro]
My shadow in vain, my shadow in vain
My shadow in vain, my shadow in vain
My shadow in vain, my shadow in vain
My shadow in vain, my shadow in vain
My shadow in vain, my shadow in vain
My shadow in vain, my shadow in vain
My shadow in vain, my shadow in vain
My shadow in vain, my shadow in vain
My shadow in vain, my shadow in vain
My shadow in
