Shake a Bone

I heard a rumor in the neighborhood
That kind of talk is never somethin' good
Crucifixions on somebody's mind

Shake a bone
Shake a bone
Shake a bone
Shake a bone

The muddy waters of the changin' times
Are washin' higher on that shaky borderline
Better learn to swim or make your getaway

Shake a bone
Shake a bone
Shake a bone
Shake a bone

I saw a liar on the marble stairs
Pointin' a finger at the people there
There's more to me than she can hold inside her words

Shake a bone
Shake a bone
Shake a bone
Shake a bone

I'm only tryin' to be human
I'm only tryin' to be real
Most of what these folks are buyin'
You know, I wouldn't even steal

The trees are reachin' for the mornin' sky
The spring is gonna give it one more try
Blinded windows block the sun along the street

Shake a bone
Shake a bone
Shake a bone
Shake a bone

No other day was like the day ahead
No second chances once you're cold and dead
The music's everywhere, once you think that you can dance

Shake a bone
Shake a bone
Shake a bone
Shake a bone

I'm only tryin' to be human
I'm only tryin' to be real
Most of what these folks are buyin'
You know, I wouldn't even steal

Ooh-ooh, yeah
Shake a bone, girl, yeah

Only a fool believes she knows it all
And every wall you build is only gonna fall
I'm chasin' freedom if you wanna come along

Shake a bone
Shake a bone
Shake a bone
Shake a bone

Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake a bone
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, shake a bone
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it

Shake it, shake it, shake a bone
Shake a bone
Shake a bone
Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Shake a bone
