Can’t Shake Those Shakes

Blind in my one good eye

My mind just won't reply

Somethin' from way down south

Kinda formin' a dust in my mouth

Lookin' for a place to hide

Lookin' for a space to die

Rattlin' like an old tin can

I'm cruisin' like a laundry van

Hot 'n' cold fever down to my knees

Wearin' out all of my rosary beads

Can't shake those shakes

Can' t shake those shakes no more

Can't shake those shakes

Feels like I'm dyin' when I'm already dead

Date with my medicine man

He got the remedies I understand

Gotta find the price to pay

Gonna send me on my way

Gotta desperate need, gotta feed the fire

I got a chemical love and a burned out desire

Can't shake those shakes

Can't shake those shakes no more

Can't shake those shakes, eels like I'm dyin'

When I'm already dead, I'm dead

Don't care for sentiment, don't even pay my rent

Got enough bad habits to blame

Got enough of them to keep me sane

Losin' altitude in this neighborhood

Can't break the fall, though I know that I should

Can't shake those shakes
