lyrics
Oh the shadow puppets on the wall
Oh the shadow puppets on the wall
They crawl across the floor and block my face, my face
I miss the sun, today’s your day, your day
I've found this flashlight
I’m told that it makes things shine
I don’t like the colour or size
So I flicked it on, and watched it die
Chorus:
I'll hide within your shadow
Limelight aficionado
Sit and pray, and
Wait for the sunrise
Wait for the sunrise
Wait for the sunrise
Wait for the sunrise
And walk away
Let's all play hide and seek
I'll let you starve in wait
Count to ten
And pray I find you
I've built this box to lock away the light
I've built this box to lock away the light
I hold this knife
I’m told that it makes things bleed
I don’t like the finish or shine
So I starved myself, a red moon tonight
*Chorus*
I'll hide within your shadow
Limelight aficionado
Sit and pray
*Chorus*
Oh the shadow puppets on the wall
They crawl across the floor and block my face, my face
I miss the sun, today’s your day, your day
I've found this flashlight
I’m told that it makes things shine
I don’t like the colour or size
So I flicked it on, and watched it die
Chorus:
I'll hide within your shadow
Limelight aficionado
Sit and pray, and
Wait for the sunrise
Wait for the sunrise
Wait for the sunrise
Wait for the sunrise
And walk away
Let's all play hide and seek
I'll let you starve in wait
Count to ten
And pray I find you
I've built this box to lock away the light
I've built this box to lock away the light
I hold this knife
I’m told that it makes things bleed
I don’t like the finish or shine
So I starved myself, a red moon tonight
*Chorus*
I'll hide within your shadow
Limelight aficionado
Sit and pray
*Chorus*
