Shimmies and Shakes

Those high beams of light
Shining in your eyes
I would do anything to keep them alive
I’m empty as a kite, rusted inside
But yes, yes, yes, I go along for the ride

We’re gonna find out how much this engine heart can take
Before it breaks, before it breaks
And if we’re gone too long, remember what’s at stake
The morning never comes - it shimmies and shakes

Take the long way
Refuse the suffer oil
Don’t let it get inside your air-cooled mind
Or your memory coil
And if you break down somewhere along the way
Whatever you do, don’t cloudy day

We’re gonna find out how much this engine heart can take
Before it breaks, before it breaks
And if we’re gone too long, remember what’s at stake
The morning never comes - it shimmies and shakes
