[Verse 1]
Stupid things, oh yeah
That we have to struggle for just to be
Stupid things, oh yeah
All the pressure and the wrinkles on your face
Often you forget you only are a second of humanity Don't let the vibe go down, regrets come in
Keep the wrinkles off your soul
Stupid things, oh yeah
The romances popped up and crumbled away
Stupid things, oh yeah
Worries and violence, there is no sense
Often I forget, I am not high tech
But just a son of humanity
Without messages Shakespeare was able to love
And Napoleon to fight
[Chorus]
Shadows, we are shadows, we are shadows
Don't switch the light off
‘Cause we are shadows we are shadows
We are shadows, never mind
[Verse 2]
You say: “You are too romantic, stop it
You are pathetic, you ask me too many questions
There is no need for that, after all”
And this room is pure noise, light up some incense
What is that, ylang-ylang
Too many rings on your fingers
Too many my questions
Oops sorry you are right
[Chorus]
Shadows, we are shadows, we are shadows
Don't switch the light off
‘Cause we are shadows we are shadows
We are shadows, never mind
[Bridge]
Time to cry, time to pray
Once in a day, once in a life
Time for parties and happiness
Look today is a beautiful day
Time to cry, time to pray
Once in a day, once in a life
Time for parties and happiness
Look today is a beautiful... (beautiful day) (2x)
[Chorus]
Shadows, we are shadows, we are shadows
Don't switch the light off
‘Cause we are shadows we are shadows
We are shadows, never mind, no never mind
