Shadow People Songtext
von Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Shadow people
What′s in their head?
In the car next to you
When the light turns red

Could be thinkin' of love
Might be thinkin′ of hate
I guess it pretty much
Could go either way

Shadow people, in shadow land
Like when thinkin' of great art
And eloquent words
That one strapped on a gun
And joined up with the herd

That one set???? water
Got some food stored away
For the war that is comin' on the judgement day

Shadow people, in shadow land


And this one carries a gun for the USA
He′s a 21st century man
And he′s scary as hell
'Cause when he afraid
He will destroy anything
He don′t understand

Well, I ain't on the left
And I ain′t on the right
I ain't even sure
I got a dog in this fight

And my time of need
And my time of greed
I feel like a shadow′s fallin' over me
Like shadow people, in shadow land
Shadow people, in shadow land
Shadow people, in shadow land
Waiting for the sun to be straight overhead
'Till we ain′t got no shadow at all
