Shadowplay

(Album: Girl In A Box - 2021)

I got a headache
I guess my wisdom teeth didn't quite cut through
When I thought they did
So go and fetch me an aspirin
I hope I don't seem desperate to seem fine
Even if I change my mind

Well, maybe if I put my hands
Up to this light
What do you see?
Is it what I'm trying to create?
Or is it something that's preconceived
From the days when you thought you knew me?

So tell me where you want me
Cos I go where the money goes, go where the money goes
Where you want me to be
Go where the money goes, go where the money goes
Cos I always, always
Go where the money goes, go where the money goes
It's shadowplay to me
Go where the money goes, go where the money goes

I got a new plan
Instead of tearing this old version down
And starting off from scratch
Just do what all the rest did, call it 'reinvented'
If I play my hand
And all the puppets underneath sing along
And don't bring up my past
All the lies that I told just to paint myself golden

I know I'm coming down from the ceiling
And I'm down in the gutter

So tell me where you want me
Cos I go where the money goes, go where the money goes
Where you want me to be
Go where the money goes, go where the money goes
Cos I always, always
Go where the money goes, go where the money goes
It's shadowplay to me
Go where the money goes, go where the money goes
Go where the money goes, go where the money goes

Well, maybe if I put my hands
Up to this light
What do you see?
Is it what I'm trying to create?
Or is it something that's preconceived
From the days when you thought you knew me?

So tell me where you want me
Cos I go where the money goes, go where the money goes
Where you want me to be
Go where the money goes, go where the money goes
Cos I always, always
Go where the money goes, go where the money goes
It's shadowplay to me
Go where the money goes, go where the money goes
Go where the money goes, go where the money goes
Go where the money goes, go where the money goes
