Shake Shake Tambourine lyrics
Songwriters: King, John Robert; Blacknell, Eugene; Hansen, Beck; Simpson, Michael S;

Black cards in effigy
We sing the song that was hated
All dressed like vagabonds
Sharks smell the blood that I m bleedin

I know there s somethin wrong
Might take a fire to kill it
Might take a hurricane
Don t know the life that I m livin

Ohh, black tambourine
Ohh, black tambourine

My baby run to me
She lives in broken down buildings
Can t pay the rent again
These spider webs are my home now

And when the sun is down
We ll shake and rattle our bodies
To keep it warm at night
My tambourine is still shakin

Ohh, black tambourine
Ohh, black tambourine

Black cards in effigy
We sing the song that was hated
All dressed like vagabonds
Sharks smell the blood that I m bleedin

I know there s somethin wrong
Might take a fire to kill it
Might take a hurricane
Don t know the life that I m livin

Black tambourine
Ohh, black tambourine
