Black Tambourine

Black cards in effigy We sing the song that was grievin' All dressed like vagabonds Sharks smell the blood that I'm bleedin' I know there's something wrong Might take a fire to kill it Might take a hurricane Don't know the life that I'm livin' Ohh ohh oh, black tambourine Ohh ohh oh, black tambourine My baby run to me She lives in broken-down buildings Can't pay the rent again These spider webs are my home now And when the sun is down We'll shake and rattle our bodies To keep it warm at night My tambourine is still shaking Ohh ohh oh, black tambourine Ohh ohh oh, black tambourine Doo doo doo doo Black cards in effigy We sing the song that was grievin' All dressed like vagabonds Sharks smell the blood that I'm bleedin' I know there's something wrong Might take a fire to kill it Might take hurricane Don't know the life that I'm livin' Black tambourine Ohh ohh oh, black tambourine Doo doo doo doo
