|
Lookin' for some shelter |
|
Lookin' for some peace |
|
The fire in the furnace |
|
Been burnin' like the beast |
|
My pants have all been pressed |
|
All my collars neatly creased |
|
My ride bummin' thumb is up |
|
Cause now the hounds have been released |
|
Cloud around my head |
|
Leaves beneath my feet |
|
Fever in my fingertips |
|
And grease between my teeth |
|
Shakin' when I wake up |
|
Keep a heavin' just to breathe |
|
Chubby cherub up above me |
|
Heathen fiend asleep beneath |
|
I dont know where Im goin' |
|
Only where I been |
|
Shake that bush again |
|
Leavin' in the evenin' |
|
Good girl don't you grieve |
|
But babe while I'm away |
|
You keep ya secrets safe for me |
|
Oh do you need the proof |
|
Or mama do you just believe? |
|
Or do you shake the hand of |
|
Man With Evil Up His Sleeve? |
|
Can ya understand |
|
Stand behind your man |
|
Might not always do right |
|
But he do just what he can |
|
Can't tell where he'll wind up |
|
When he come around the bend |
|
But you bet when he get there |
|
Gonna shake that bush again |
|
Shake it baby |
|
Man is just a man |
|
He can leave it he can take it |
|
But baby shake that tail just like a rattlesnake can shake it |
|
Ignominious decision but somebody got to make it |
|
Lord I know I made a promise but Im gonna have to break it |
|
Lookin' for some shelter |
|
Lookin' for some peace |
|
The fire in the furnace |
|
Is burnin' like the beast |
|
Yes Im headed West when the weary leave the East |
|
There's a new broom near my tombstone |
|
Sweep it clean for the deceased |
