Song Lyrics

"Shadowlands"

by Vigilantes Of Love
Album: Driving The Nails

Oh, no, no.

Got this gnawing, empty feeling I've been trying to shake,
My life it's just a reel of bad out takes, and my mind gets so numb,
Dumb, dumb, dumb,
I've been dying for a saviour,
I've been chaffing at the bit in every corner of existence, every way out I invent,
Lord knows that the money's spent,
Money, money, oh.

When they gonna take me'
When they gonna take me'
When they gonna take me, oh, from the shadow land'
From the shadow.

I've been trying all day just to keep it together,
Never in my life have I been so affected by the weather or things that the people say,
I've been trying all day just to keep it alive,
Crying all my life, but it's only on the inside,
Oh darling, I will let you in,
Let you in, let you, let you, let you, hey.

When they gonna take me'
When they gonna take me'
When they gonna take me, oh, from the shadow land'
From the shadow.

Shadow land.

1, 2, 3...

Hey, we've got new ways to treat the soul that succumbs: electroshock and valium,
I've been victimised, hypnotised, sodomized here in shadow land,
I'm still dying for a saviour,
I'm still chaffing at the bit in every corner of existence, every way out I invent,
Lord knows I've made enough of them,
Enough of them, enough of them.

When they gonna take me'
When they gonna take me'
When they gonna take me, oh, from the shadow land'
From the shadow land,
Baby, take me from the shadow land,
Oh, from the shadow.

(ad lib, fade)
