Beck Shake Shake Tambourine Lyrics

Shake Shake Tambourine Lyrics

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
