The Stone Coyotes - Shake lyrics

"Great God Almighty" I heard a woman cry "Do you think I'm made of iron? How dare you pa** me by? I've seen your kind before You seem so self-a**ured What are you doing walking on the Wild side Looking so demure?" And then she started swaying She said, "I've disconnected from the whole Can't you hear? The band is playing Shake, Rattle and Roll" The sidewalk is her ballroom Her dress a tattered grey People stop and whisper "I wonder how she got that way" She said, "I like to let my hair down Let it fall and let it flow Dance to all the old songs I remember long ago" I tried to break it gently I said, "No one hears your song" She said, "What makes you so sure You've got it right And I've got it wrong? You can keep your comforts of home They mean nothing to me I prefer the wreckage Of a life that used to be"
