I heard a rumor in the neighborhood
That kind of talk is never something good
Crucifixions on somebody's mind
Shake a bone
Shake a bone
Shake a bone
Shake a bone
The muddy waters of the changing times
Are washing 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
Pointing 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 trying to be human
I'm only trying to be real
Most of what these folks are buying
You know, I wouldn't even steal
The trees are reaching for the morning 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 trying to be human
I'm only trying to be real
Most of what these folks are buying
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 chasing 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
