THE SHADOWS

Turn on the light bulb

Even though it flickers that way.

Turn on the shadow sock puppets

That creates an imaginary story on the wall.

And watch the shadows fall.

Oh turn on the blacklight

Let's see its eery glow.

Turn on the record player,

There is vinyl sound to explore.

create an imaginary story on the wall.

Turn on the light bulb

Even though it flickers that way.

Oh, turn on the blacklight.

Let everything look strange as Ozric Tentacles jams.

It's suddenly years ago.

I might have still owned my Jamz.

Turn on the sound there's rhythm needed all around.

This scene needs a dream fulfilled.

The sound so sweet and the moment chill.

Turn on the light bulb.

Even though it flickers that way.

Oh, turn on the blacklight.

That creates an imaginary story on the wall.

And watch the shadows fall.

watch the shadows fall.

The blacklight glares against the wall.

Turn on the light bulb.

Even though it flickers that way.

Turn on the shadow sock puppets,

That creates an imaginary story on the wall.

And watch the shadows fall.
