Shake
Under wrap under cover - the daylight come and go
Your fingers so long and heavy - and nobody knows
What becomes of a surface - a burning star with no wish?
You want to feel, you want to laugh, you want to live - but not like this
The noonday demon
Has brought you down to your knees
And everyone who feels just a little better than you screaming:
"Shake, come on shake this disease"
Get a hold of yourself - you really haven't got it that bad
Shake. Drink eat smoke beat shop shoot just fuck it all away
Children laugh in the courtyard
The church bell tolls at noon
There's a chance you could just disappear inside of yourself
Or come out of it soon
But the noonday demon
She come and go as she please
And everyone you know is so well meaning they say:
"Shake, come on shake this disease"
Get a hold of yourself - you really haven't got it that bad
Shake. Drink eat smoke beat shop shoot just fuck it all away
