Shake Away
You know mama told me now
You're a child on your way
Don't you bother looking back
At the steps you took today
I feel swallowed by the road
Like a man without a name
'Cause the poison in my skin
Has the color of your game
Shake away, shake away
All the many sorrows
Slide away, slide away
Like a rattlesnake
Shake away, shake away
All the dry and loose skin
All the anger and the hate
Like a rattlesnake
Take me away
To the wind of November
You are my thunder
My path and my voice
Take me away
Into the place in your story
'Cause I can taste
Bitterness in your tongue
Can you hear me, mama?
Can you hear me, sister?
Can you hear me, child?
Can you hear me, mama?
Can you hear me, sister?
Can you hear me, child?
Shake away, shake away
All the many sorrows
Slide away, slide away
Like a rattlesnake
Shake away, shake away
All the dry and loose skin
All the anger and the hate
Like a rattlesnake
Take me away
To the wind of November
You are my thunder
My path and my voice
Take me away
To the place in your story
'Cause I can taste
Bitterness in your tongue
Can you hear me, mama?
Can you hear me, sister?
Can you hear me, child, child?
Can you hear me, mama?
Can you hear me, sister?
Can you, can you hear me, child?
You're a child on your way
Don't you bother looking back
At the steps you took today
I feel swallowed by the road
Like a man without a name
'Cause the poison in my skin
Has the color of your game
Shake away, shake away
All the many sorrows
Slide away, slide away
Like a rattlesnake
Shake away, shake away
All the dry and loose skin
All the anger and the hate
Like a rattlesnake
Take me away
To the wind of November
You are my thunder
My path and my voice
Take me away
Into the place in your story
'Cause I can taste
Bitterness in your tongue
Can you hear me, mama?
Can you hear me, sister?
Can you hear me, child?
Can you hear me, mama?
Can you hear me, sister?
Can you hear me, child?
Shake away, shake away
All the many sorrows
Slide away, slide away
Like a rattlesnake
Shake away, shake away
All the dry and loose skin
All the anger and the hate
Like a rattlesnake
Take me away
To the wind of November
You are my thunder
My path and my voice
Take me away
To the place in your story
'Cause I can taste
Bitterness in your tongue
Can you hear me, mama?
Can you hear me, sister?
Can you hear me, child, child?
Can you hear me, mama?
Can you hear me, sister?
Can you, can you hear me, child?
