My shadow is more sociable than I !
24 hours in a day and
I shall stay in
One position
(You'd think I was dead)
But as the sun moves
My shadow dances across the room
Flirting with man outside my door
Who has asked me
(For the 8th time)
To take my medicine.
Everyone said that I'm going
Crazy!
I've lost my mind!
So now everyone's left
But I have my shadow
By my side
