I'd love to take this lying downBut the world we know has lost it's crownAll night talk an' jazz cigarettesIs never gonna change this killer townI see her walkingIn perfect timeShe gives me reasonTo carry onRound the corner comes salvationMade to order is what you foundWhy oh why do we fool ourselvesIs it just the need to carry onI see her walkingIn perfect timeShe gives me reasonTo carry onShake the tree you findShake don't cut it downGlamour takes it's toll on youThrow away what's out of viewPearls of wisdom hang around your neckThey warm to the touch of your perfect skinHigh, high, highHigh, high, highI see her walkingIn perfect timeShe gives me reasonTo carry onShake the tree you findShake don't cut it downShake the tree you find (I see her walking in perfect time)Shake don't cut it down (she gives me reason)To carry onI see her walkingIn perfect timeShe gives me reasonTo never say dieI see her walkingIn perfect time (shake)She gives me reason (the tree you find)
