I'm Gonna Leave You Behind (My Shadow My Sun XX album version)

I crashed in the middle of nowhere,

Down in the north of the nation

Small town, lesser known service station

I woke up in the middle of nowhere

As a twentieth century detail

Regards on a circular email

Monday I was fit for nothing

Tuesday, going nowhere

Wednesday half way, Thursday closer

Friday’s sweet anticipation

Saturday is the one and only

Dawning on close to midday

Sunday morning, semi-holy

Sunday evening, wholly lonely

Oh my life, I’m trapped against my life by the spirit deep inside, spirit deep inside

Oh my life, if you wanna get in my life there’s something on my mind, I’m gonna leave you behind

I’m so hard to find

Crashed in the middle of, crushed in the middle of, smashed in the middle of

Slap bang in the middle of nowhere.

Bumming a ride to the seaside, I was

Humming a line from a B-side

I woke up in the middle of nowhere

Hopeless empty confusion

It's a twentieth century illusion

Monday I was fawning all morning

Tuesday I was caught in a crossfire

Wednesday I was falling and crawling

Thursday, Friday, living-a-lie-day

Saturday, Have a nice day, have a nice day, have a nice day, have a nice day

Sunday morning semi-holy

Sunday evening,

Oh oh oh oh la la, la la, la, la-la-la la la la la la la l-l la la la-la la la la la I’m gonna leave you behind

Oh, my life. If you wanna get in my life, I stutter and I lie, I mutter and deny, I flutter and I fly

Oh, my life If you wanna get in my life, there’s something you should know

I ebb against the tide, I roll against the blow, I’ll take you in my stride, I come until I go

Just thought you ought to know

Crashed in the middle of, crushed in the middle of, smashed in the middle of

Slap bang in the middle of nowhere

Well deep down, I'm riddled with shame

Deep down, I'm wracked with pain

Deep down, I'd take all the blame

If deep down I could be born gain

Bah b-b-b-b bah bah b-b-b-b bah bah b-b-b-b bah b-bah b-b-b-b B-side

Adam and Eve survived the blame

Cain took the mark when Abel was slain.

Sisyphus drilled uphill in vain

Did fate drive Oedipus Rex insane?
