Steely Dan – Deacon Blues Lyrics 17 years ago
The narrator is dead. He is going to heaven. A shade is a ghost.

This is the day
Of the expanding man
That shape is my shade
There where I used to stand

He decides he is going to be a jazz saxaphonist. He buys into the lifestyle. He has a certain amount of success. But he gets drunk and dies in a car accident... then narrates the song as his spirit leaves his body, expanding into the universal conciousness. He is a "loser" because he died in a foolish accident.
