You know mama told me now,
you're a child on your way,
don't you bother looking back
at the steps you took today
I feel swollowed by the road
like a men without a name
cause the poison in my skin
has the colour of your game.
Shake away shake away,
on the many sorrows
slide away slide away
like a rattlesnake
shake away shake away
all the dry and loose skin
all the anger and the hate like a rattlesnake.
Take me away
to the wind of november
through all my thunder, my paths and my wounds
take me away to the place in your story
cause I can taste bitterness in your tone
can you hear me mama?
can you hear me sister?
can you hear me child?
can you hear me mama
can you hear me sister
can you hear me child?
Shake away shake away,
on the many sorrows
slide away slide away
like a rattlesnake
shake away shake away
all the dry and loose skin
all the anger and the hate of a rattlesnake.
Take me away
to the wind of november
through all my thunder, my paths and my wounds
take me away to the place in your story
cause I can taste bitterness in your tone
can you hear me mama?
can you hear me sister?
can you hear me child?
can you hear me mama
can you hear me sister
can you hear me child?
