Story Behind The Song

WALKING IN THE SHADOWS is probably the Greatest ACCIDENT in the Cosmic Funk Orchestra canon. Here was a "loose (non-album) single" that I wrote on a whim in OCTOBER, 1985, and recorded in November of that same year. There were 3 tracks recorded in that

Song Description

"Alien Boy" meets "Mysterious Girl"---- ahhhhh, love.

Lyrics

1)
WELCOME TO THE FUTURE, it will blow your mind
My name is Ahndaarharr, and I travel through Space and Time
The women come and the women go
They never stay to see my show
But there's one chick who's very unique
She always gets me (baby!) on my feet
But she hardly stays in my sight
She always hangs out where there's no light (Ohh!)

(CHORUS)
She's walking in the shadows
Walking, baby, in the shadows.
She's walking in the shadows
Walking, baby, in the shadows. (Twice)

2)
She's so Nasty-Sweet, and so doggone fine
I wanna take her home and make her mine, all mine
The girl's like a rabbit, she moves super-fast
I want her to slow down so I can learn about her past
She says, "Honey, you can look, but please don't touch!"
I agreed to her terms, so we went "Dutch"
But she never walked where the sun shone bright (Oh No!)
She only wants to walk where there's no light.

(CHORUS)

Keep a'walkin', keep a'walkin' baby
Walk with me in the shadows
Keep a'movin', keep a'movin' baby
Walk with me, in the shadows--Heyyyy!
She's walking in the shadows
Walking, baby, in the shadows (GOOD GOD!)
She's walking in the shadows
Walking, baby, in the shadows.

Keep a'walkin', keep a'walkin'
Keep a'walkin' baby
Walk with me in the shadows, yea.
