The Cure Shake Dog Shake (Live) lyrics

Wake up in the dark
The after-taste of anger in the back of my mouth
Spit it on the wall and cough some more
And scratch my skin with razor blades

And make up in the new blood
And try to look so good, follow me
And make up in the new blood
And follow me to where the real fun is, ha ha

As stale and selfish as a sick dog
Spurning sex like an animal of God
I'll tear your red hair by the roots and hold you blazing
Hold you cherished in the dead electric light

Your face
I'll never see you this way again
I captured it so perfectly
As if I knew you'd disappear away, ha ha

Shake shake shake shake
Shake shake shake shake
Shake shake shake
Shake dog shake

Shake shake shake
Sh-sh-shake sh-sh-shake
Sh-sh-shake dog shake

You hit me again
You howl and hit me again
The same sharp pain
Wakes me in the dark
And cuts me from my throat
To my pounding heart
My heart, my shaking heart


Shake shake
Shake shake
Shake shake
Shake shake

We kiss all night in the virgin's bed
And dreamed of death
And breathed like sick dogs

We slept all night in the virgin's bed
And breathed like death
And dreamed of sick dogs

Shake shake
Shake dog shake
Shake shake
Shake dog shake

Wake up, wake up, wake up
Dog shake
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Shake dog shake

You wake up in the new blood
Shake up in this new blood
You wake up in the new blood
And follow me to where the real fun is

Shake dog shake
Shake dog shake
Shake dog shake
