(chorus 1)

Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall
Shadow on the wall

Like a shadow on the wall

Treat me like a prisoner
Treat me like a fool
Treat me like a looser
Use me as a tool
Waste me till i'm hungry
Lose me in the cold
Treat me like a criminal
Just a shadow on the wall

(repeat chorus 1)

Like a shadow on the wall

Treat me like i'm evil
Freeze me till i'm cold
Beat me till i'm feeble
Grind me till i'm old
Wire me till i'm tired
Push me till i fall
Treat me like a criminal
Just a shadow on the wall

(repeat chorus 1)

Shadow on the wall
Like a shadow
Treat me like a shadow

Shadow on the wall
Like a shadow
Shadow on the wall
Treat me like a shadow

Shadow on the wall
Like a shadow
Shadow on the wall
Treat me like a shadow
There's a shadow on the wall

Treat me like a shadow
Black shadow on the wall
Like a shadow
Treat me like a shadow
