[Intro]
Ho!
No, no, no

[Verse 1]
Got this gnawing, empty feeling I've been trying to shake
My life, it's just a reel of bad outtakes
And my mind gets so numb
From the dumb, dumb, dumb
I've been dying for a savior, I've been chaffing at the bit
In every corner of existence, every way out I invent
Lord knows that the money's spent
Money, money, ho!

[Chorus]
When they gonna take me?
When they gonna take me?
When they gonna take me
Oh, oh, from the shadowland?
From the shadow
Land, land, land, land

[Verse 2]
I've been trying all day just to keep it together
Never in my life have I been so affected by the weather
Oh, things that the people say
I've been trying all day just to keep it alive
Crying all my life, but it's only on the inside
Oh darling, I will let you in, let you in, let you, let you
[Chorus]
When they gonna take me?
When they gonna take me?
When they gonna take me
Oh, oh, from the shadowland?
From the shadow
Mmm, the shadowland

[Instrumental Bridge]
1, 2, 3!

[Verse 3]
Hey, we've got new ways to treat the soul that succumbs
Electroshock and Valium
I've been victimized, hypnotized, sodomized here in the shadowland
I'm still dying for a Savior, I'm still chaffing at the bit
In every corner of existence, every way out I invent
Lord knows I've made enough of them
Enough of them, enough of them

[Chorus]
When they gonna take me?
When they gonna take me?
When they gonna take me
Oh, oh, from the shadowland?
From the shadowland
Baby, take me from the shadowland
Oh, from the shadow
[Outro]
Land, land, land, from the shadowland
Take me from the shadowland
No, no
Take me from the shadowland
Take me from the, take me from the
Take me from the shadowland
Shadow, shadow, take me from the shadowland
Shadowland
