Chasing Shadows - Santigold

360, 5 left, I’m counting it to the day

I’m thinking if I did everything I said, or if the year got the best of me

One thing about time, it waits for nobody, you told me, isn’t that what they say

Been batting ‘gainst it and getting nowhere, just racin' got nothing to say to

nobody

Little lady you better get in line, now I’m talking this to myself

Better get in on down with the program, don’t sell your lot for an old broke

dream they been sellin' ya

Free fallin like Tom Petty, waitin' on this rodeo to haul

I break my own rules, steal my way home, and guard the still there like a beast

We race the globe

The shakers and the fools

We trouble you know

You’ll find us where we fall, we chasing shadows

And I can’t have it, have it any other way

And I can’t have it, have it any other way

I’m not gon' have it, have it any other way

And I can’t have it, have it any other way

Always knew I’d be international

No fear of flying

Limousines, big people, their parties

But I’m on an island

Watching through a window

The flashing light on the bed

Neon sign goes red

«You Are Here» it says

Well, at least someone knows where I am

Maybe I will get it wrong, no patience for myself

Selling years of ideas ‘til I’m old, a living on the shelf

I won’t follow I’m taking the long way, my standards hold me up

Why they eating they idols up now why they eating they idols up, damnit

I give ‘em my heart in words will they remember me

I’ll leave ‘em alone and time’ll want to smother what I say

I round another year and wonder did I go someplace

I’m bucking this one down, this one right here won’t walk away

We race the globe

The shakers and the fools

We trouble you know

You’ll find us were we fall, we chasing shadows

And I can’t have it, have it any other way

And I can’t have it, have it any other way

I’m not gon' have it, have it any other way

And I can’t have it, have it any other way

Always knew I’d be international

No fear of flying

Limousines, big people, their parties

But I’m on an island

Watching through a window

The flashing light on the bed

Neon sign goes red

«You Are Here» it says

Well, at least someone knows where I am
