There's a man down the alley, lost his mind, so they say
Yeah, a man down the alley, lost his mind, so they say
Moves just like a shadow, ghost steps driftin' away
He's got a hole in his head, black bird in his eye
Yeah, a hole in his head, and a black bird in his eye
Stares hard at the sidewalk, never lookin' to the sky
Oh, that shadow-walkin' man, he just doesn't care
Runnin' from the moon, like a coyote through cold night air
No one knows where he's headin', but he sure ain't gettin' there
They say he had a woman, they say he had a name
Yeah, he had a sweet woman, and he once had a name
But the rage took his soul, and he ain't never been the same
Oh, that shadow-walkin' man, he just doesn't care
Runnin' from the moon, like a coyote through cold night air
No one knows where he's headin', but he sure ain't gettin' there
I asked him where he's goin', he just grinned and sighed
Yeah, I asked him where he's goin', he just grinned and sighed
Said the shadows are comin', so he's takin' one last ride
He used to be my friend, used to light up a room
Yeah, he used to be my friend, had a slow-hand kind of tune
But he buried his pain where the wild weeds bloom
Oh, that shadow-walkin' man, he just doesn't care
Runnin' from the moon, like a coyote through cold night air
No one knows where he's headin', but he sure ain't gettin' there
Now the street lies silent, and his name's washed by the rain
Yeah, the street lies silent, and his name's washed by the rain
Some say he was a drifter, some say he just went insane
