Shake the Tree

I'd love to take this lying down

But the world we know has lost it's crown

All night talking jazz cigarettes

Is never gonna change this killer town

I see her walking

In perfect time

She gives me reason

To carry on

Round the corner comes salvation

Made to order is what you found

Why oh why do we fool ourselves

Is it just the need to carry on

I see her walking

In perfect time

She gives me reason

To carry on

Shake the tree you find

Shake don't cut it down

Glamour takes it's toll on you

You throw away what's out of view

Pearls of wisdom hang round your neck

They warm to the touch of your perfect skin

High, high, high

High, high, high

I see her walking

In perfect time

She gives me reason

To carry on

Shake the tree you find

Shake don't cut it down

Shake the tree you find

(I see her walking in perfect time)

Shake don't cut it down

(She gives me reason)

To carry on

I see her walking

In perfect time

She gives me reason

To never say die

I see her walking

In perfect time (shake)

She gives me reason (the tree you find)

To never say die

Shake the tree you find
