SHADOW'S WEARIN BLACK

Wish I’s born in a ratty hat
Stole my supper from a whorehouse rat
Slept in dryers at the laundrymat
My shadow’s cool he’s wearin black
Tear my fear into little shreds
Sew up my cuts with the common thread
Shine that flashlight on the bed…yea
My shadow’s cool he’s light unsaid

Tears are clear but they’re fulla pain
Blood is thick it don’t fall like rain
Crooked man with a crooked cane
My shadow is wearin black

Dress my boot with a wicked spur
Sound sixteen syncopated syllables without a single slur
But here lawdy mama gotta drink this first…yaw
My shadow’s cool he’s unrehearsed

Tears are clear but they’re fulla pain
Blood is think it don’t fall like rain
Crooked man witha crooked cane
My shadow is wearin…black

Stop yo moanin!
spook e. pirate drives a cadillac
Tell my boss I had a heart attack
Gonna steal that sun hell no I won’t put it back
My shadow’s cool he’s wearin black

Tears are clear but they’re full of pain
Blood is thick it don’t fall like rain
Crooked man witha crooked cane

I’m gonna paint your soul witha wicked stain

Shame shame the boy’s insane
If ya come around here ya better know my name
Cuz I’m down in the fire witha lickin flame
My shadow yea yea yea my shadow is wearin black
Your shadow’s what the sun says
