Shake Yourself Loose

How much rope you gonna give yourself
How much slack do you need
In order not to hang yourself
Up on the street
You say you learned your lesson
But I know that that ain’t true
When I see that feeling
Come over you
But I don’t blame you baby
Cause it really ain’t no use
I believe that you believe
You’re searching for the truth
I don’t know what hold
That rounder downtown has on you
But keep on shaking, baby
Til you shake yourself loose
I’m not running away from trouble
I’m walking away from an accident
Involving a personality double
And a hole with a head in it
Ain’t nothing I can say
Ain’t nothing I can do
When I see that feeling
Come over you
But I don’t blame you baby
Cause it really ain’t no use
I believe that you believe
You’re searching for the truth
I don’t know what hold
That rounder downtown has on you
But keep on shaking, baby
Til you shake yourself loose
