Shake Dog Shake (Live in Oxford)

[Intro: Robert Smith]

Hello, this is called Shake Dog Shake

[Verse 1]

Wake up in the dark

The after-taste of anger in the back of my mouth

Spit it on the wall

And cough some more and scrape my skin with razor blades

And make up in the new blood

And try to look so good

Follow me

Make up in the new blood

And follow me to where the real fun is

Ha ho ho

As stale and selfish as a sick dog

That's spurning sex like an animal of god

I'll tear your red hair by the roots and hold you blazing

Hold you cherished in the dead electric light

Your face, I'll nеver see you this way again

I captured it so perfеctly as if I knew you'd disappear away

[Chorus]

Oh, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake dog, shake

Oh yeah, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

Shake, shake, shake, shake dog, shake

[Verse 2]

You hit me again

You howl and hit me again

The same sharp pain

Wakes me in the dark

And cuts me from my throat to my pounding heart

My heart, my shaking heart

[Chorus]

Oh, shake, shake

Oh, shake dog, shake

Shake, shake

Shake, shake, shake dog, shake

[Verse 3]

But we slept all night in the virgin's bed

And dreamed of death and breathed like sick dogs

We slept all night in the virgin's bed

And breathed like death and dreamed of sick dogs

[Chorus]

Oh, shake, shake

Oh, shake, shake

Shake, shake

Shake dog, shake

[Outro]

Wake up, wake up, wake up

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake dog shake

Wake up, wake up, wake up

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake dog, shake

Wake up in the new blood

Make up in the new blood

Shake up in the new blood

And follow me to where the real fun is

Shake dog, shake

Shake dog, shake

Shake dog...
