Shake Dog Shake

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Wake up in the darkThe aftertaste of anger in the back of my mouthSpit it on the wallAnd cough some moreAnd scrape my skin with razor bladesAnd make up in the new bloodAnd try to look so goodFollow me!Make up in the new bloodAnd follow me to where the real fun isAs stale and selfish as a sick dogSpurning sex like an animal of godI'll tear your red hair by the rootsAnd hold you blazingHold you cherished in the dead electric lightYour faceI'll never see you this way againI captured it so perfectlyAs if I knew you'd disappear awayShake dog shakeYou hit me againYou howl and hit me againThe same sharp painWakes me in the darkAnd cuts me from my throat to my pounding heartMy heartMy shaking heartShake dog shakeBut we slept all night in the virgin's bedAnd dreamed of deathAnd breathed like sick dogsWe slept all night in the virgin's bedAnd breathed like deathAnd dreamed of sick dogsShake dog shakeWake up wake up wake up!Shake dog shakeWake up wake up wake up!Shake dog shakeWake up in the new bloodMake up in the new bloodShake up in the new bloodAnd follow me to where the real fun is...Shake dog shake
