Stupid things, oh yeah
that we have ta struggle for just to be
Stupid things, oh yeah
all the pressure and the wrinkles on your face
Often you forget you only are a second of humanity
Don't let the vibe go down
Regrets come in, keep the wrinkles off your soul

Stupid things, oh yeah
the romances popped up and crumbled away
Stupid things, oh yeah, worries and violence
there is no sense
Often I forget, I am not high tech
but just a son of humanity
Without messages Shakespeare
was able to love and Napoleon to fight

Shadows, we are shadows
we are shadows, don't switch the light off
'Cause we are shadows, we are shadows
We are shadows, never mind

You say: ''you are too romantic, stop it, you are pathetic
You ask me too many questions
there's no need for that, after all"
And this room is pure noise, light up some incense
what is that, ylang ylang
Too many rings on your fingers
too many are my questions
Ups sorry you are right

Shadows, we are shadows, we are shadows
don't switch the light off
'Cause we are shadows, we are shadows
We are shadows, never mind

Time to cry, time to pray
Once in a day, once in a life
Time for parties and happiness
look today is a beautiful day

Shadows, we are shadows, we are shadows
don't switch the light off
'Cause we are shadows, we are shadows
We are shadows, never mind
