I think my shadow's broken
It's a problem, can't you see?
When I hold up two fingers,
My shadow holds up three!

I think my shadow's broken
It isn't always there!
It hides within cracks,
Inside its creepy lair.

I think my shadow's broken
It's come alive, oh gee!
It's dragging me down the stairs,
Someone please help me!

I think my shadow's broken
It stuck me in a van
I guess i'd better write this,
At least while i still can.

I think my shadow's broken
Oh well, I guess I lied!
My shadow was fine the whole time,
It was trying just to hide.

Well I guess my shadow's fixed.
It was just trying to hide
I guess it only shows up
When the sun comes up outside.
