Lyrics The Wombats

The Wombats

Be Your Shadow

Tonight we'll both go M.I.A

In different towns but in similar ways

I've tried my best, best to forget

But I can't, I can't, I can't

Tonight we'll scratch each other's face

If it's in the moment no one complains

I tried my best to move along

But I can't, I can't, I can't

Kiss me with your fist it's all right

Wrap your hands around my throat I won't mind

I'm permanent, now I won't go

I just wanna be your shadow

Just one more uptempo tune

The suits don't care if their feet aren't blue

Are you aware of what's going on

In my heart, my heart, my heart

Those machine gun eyes, they fire crystals into me

You're such a violent high

And I'm such a loose cannon can't you see?

Kiss me with your fist it's all right

Wrap your hands around my throat I won't mind

I'm permanent, now I won't go

I just wanna be your shadow

Have a bus drive it over my rib cage

Snap my bank cards and throw them at my face

I'm permanent now I won't go

I just wanna be your shadow

And I just want to be the sum of your broken parts

And I just want to be your creature of the dark

And I just want to be the sum of your broken parts

And I just want to be your creature of, your creature of the dark

I just wanna be your shadow

Kiss me with your fist it's all right

Wrap your hands around my throat I won't mind

I'm permanent, now I won't go

I just wanna be your shadow
