On the 1st day, it was all sunny and bright
On the 1st day, it was all shiny and light
But on the 2nd day, oh the dark clouds came
And on the 3rd day, it was all thunder and rain
She said,
"I don't mind as long as it's sunny and bright
I don't mind as long as it's shiny and light
But now, wipe that abomination off your face
Two day shadow, what a disgrace!
"Why did it have to come this far?!
Who do you really think you are?!
You used to be so nice and clean
Why do you have to be so mean?"
So I got rid of the parasite
And the sun returned, all happy and bright
But two days passed and it rained frogs & snakes
And "Whoops", I thought, "I guess I made a mistake"
She said,
"I don't mind as long as it's sunny and bright
I don't mind as long as it's shiny and light
But now, wipe that abomination off your face
Two day shadow, what a disgrace!
"Tell me now, how could this happen?!
Must we sort things out this way?!
Can you read the secret message?*
Tell me now, what does it say?"
Oh yeeeaaaahhh
(Him:)
What's the matter with you, baby?
Today's just another day
Don't you love me anymore?
Well, Jesus loves me anyway
(Her:)
Jesus had a big long beard,
Jesus doesn't save.
How could I trust him, baby? Now,
WHY CAN'T YOU GO AND SHAAAAAAVE?!?...
Two day shadow
Two day shadow
Two day shadow (Jesus shave me)
Two day shadow (Jesus shave me)
Verse 1: A two day shadow growing out of his face
An idle Stephen with a comma of a shave
A one time mister pens a three day journey
Four day whiskers, sparing scissors, for noone at all
Verse 2: A sole érudit studies a two-bit world
A con man’s mark on every facial curl
A final hair on each dot of punctuation
The exclamation of an image across Dublin Bay
Chorus: (A mark of a madman, la marque de fou)
“Moi faire. Tous les messieurs.
Moi faire.” “Not this monsieur.”
Verse 3: Sprawled between the rocks, a hyphen on the beach
A poem written out with too many ellipses
A thousand year day steers us through this odyssey
A single moment, a June portent with grand apostrophe
Quintessence of science is doubt, why'd it take two days to work this out?
Understanding comes from mistakes so does it matter if I fail?
Epiphanies won't come, what if I haven't won the fight against my
Superstitous minds? where do they find the time
To teach a fictional account? Can we survive without it?
Interrogate your mind. What do you think you'll find
Outside in daylight?
Never even find the time to shave inside this study now.
One day we matter
The next day we shatter
Some clicks and some clatter
Come before the fall
I'm beaten and battered
You're withered and tattered
We're locked into a pattern
Fueled by vitriol
A face forlorn and fallow
A two day shadow
A back full of arrows
And a caterwaul
What are we waiting for?
There’s an open door
And a world of inspiration
Ask yourself a simple question
(What do I want?)
Make yourself a bold suggestion
(Do it tonight)
I know your heart is aching
But is it worth the risk you're taking?
Soon you'll cast no shadow
Cast no shadow at all
A weekend of splendor
A lovestruck bender
A moment of surrender
Sparks a free-for-all
Feeling kind of callow
A two day shadow
I follow you for hours
Through a shopping mall
What are we waiting for?
There’s an open door
And a world of complications
Ask yourself a simple question
(What do I want?)
Make yourself a bold suggestion
(Do it tonight)
I know your heart is aching
But is it worth the risk you're taking?
Soon you'll cast no shadow
Cast no shadow at all
One day we matter
The next we shatter
Some clicks and some clatter
Come before the fall
Another splash of cologne,
Another night spent away from home
Another night at the bar
Because that’s where the girls are

A G x3 D
Will they notice my two day shadow?
Can they tell that I haven't showered?
Am I fooling them all with my swagger anyway?
Will they notice my two day shadow?
Can they tell that I haven't showered?
Am I pulling this off like Mick Jagger’s evil twin?
I’m feeling just like Stalone
When I’m on the dance floor
all the ladies gather round
because they like to get down
Will they notice my two day shadow?
Can they tell that I haven't showered?
Am I fooling them all with my swagger anyway?
Will they notice my two day shadow?
Can they tell that I haven't showered?
Am I pulling this off like Mick Jagger’s evil twin?
Bridge: Bm G Em G-A
Two Day Shadow
I’m a wolf on the prowl
Looking for a night owl
I know what’s ahead
another night in a stranger’s bed
Will they notice my two day shadow?
Can they tell that I haven't showered?
Am I fooling them all with my swagger anyway?
Will they notice my two day shadow?
Can they tell that I haven't showered?
Am I pulling this off like Mick Jagger’s evil twin?

I'll shave off my beard
If you think it looks weird
I'll make a brand new start
So I can win your heart
You want things done your way
That price I'll gladly pay
Don't judge me
So much, please
(I bet) I'll like it anyway
I'll change my wardrobe too
If I embarrass you
Your approval rules
The choices of your fools
"Alone is not a venture"
I'd be alone in dentures
Unless we
Redress me
So I escape your censure
Chorus
Won't you try (should I)
to make believe (shave my)
that I'm the guy (two day)
you want to see (shadow?)
every other morning?
Every other morning?
Verse Two
If you don't like my friends
I've had enough of them
I'll build a brand new crew
As long as you approve
So quick to find the flaws
Of my old entourage
Perhaps they
Don’t repay
The trouble to your cause
If you had your druthers
Could I still keep my brothers?
Why don't you like my sister?
I'm really going to miss her
Do you know who I am?
Do you even give a damn?
I'm asking
Exactly
What is your master plan?
Chorus
Verse Three
Now my philosophy
Becomes your latest weed
Mind dump, then reboot
(You) Got thoughts to match my suit?
Committing absolutely
I'm enslaved by your beauty
I'm vested
And tested
Your whimsy is my duty
You hate I have to work
I'm some sort of selfish jerk
Use me as you will
I still gotta pay your bills
You want me when it's sunny
I always bring the money
Undoing
Ensuing
It's more sad than it is funny
