Lyrics
[128 BPM | F minor | 4/4 | Deep male baritone] [INTRO - tape hiss, lo-fi drum loop; ª = muted wah-guitar notes, never vocals] [Electric violin glissando; distant bike horn] (uh uh uh uh) Look at the floor. Who's missing? (Yeah!) [VERSE 1 - dry, low, amused] My shadow left me for a better body. Saw him at the club with somebody. Sharp new shoes, moving kind of naughty. Didn't even wave. Not sorry. I move left, he moves right. He found new legs on a Friday night. I say, "Come back!" He says, "No chance." Took my dark side out to dance. [PRE-CHORUS - filter rising, stuttering synth chops] Where'd he go? (Where'd he go?) Down below? (No, no, no.) Who's that guy? (I don't know.) Bass comes in let him go. [CHORUS - full dirty-bass house drop, vocoded doubles] My shadow left me for a better body. Better body. Better body. My shadow left me for a better body. Now everybody, move your body. Better body. Better body. He wants somebody, somebody. Better body. Better body. I'm still here. I'm still dancing. [POST-DROP - warped sub, chopped male voice, cowbell glitches] Body body body body. (uh uh uh uh) [Distorted bassline; bit-crushed harmonica accents] Body body body body. [VERSE 2 - minimal kick and deep spoken vocal] I saw him follow Mr. Perfect Feet. Two-step smooth on the concrete. He got the moves. I got the beat. Guess who's owning this whole street? [Vinyl rewind effect] ꘠꘡꘠꘡ ꘠꘡꘠꘡ ꘢꘣꘢꘣ ꘢꘣꘢꘣ [BREAKDOWN - drums cut; electric violin, robotic voice] (Where'd he go?) (He upgraded.) (Am I mad?) (Not complicated.) (Uhhh uhhhhhhhh) [BUILD - jittery drums, rising filtered synth, snare roll] No shade. No shade. I don't need a silhouette. No shade. No shade. I ain't done dancing yet. [FINAL CHORUS - heavier sub-bass drop, open hats] My shadow left me for a better body. Better body. Better body. My shadow left me for a better body. Now everybody, move your body. Better body. Better body. He wants somebody, somebody. Better body. Better body. I'm still here. I'm still dancing. [OUTRO - relaxing hook, deep reverb voice; drums strip away] (My shadow left me...) (For a better body...) Better body. Better body. (Still dancing.) [Vinyl hiss, bike horn; hard cut]
