shake the tree lyrics

I'd love to take this lying down
But the world we know has lost it's crown
All night talking jazz cigarettes
Is never gonna change this killer town

I see her walking in perfect time
She gives me reason to carry on

Round the corner comes salvations
Made to order is what you found
Why, oh, why do we fool ourselves?
Is it just the need to carry on?

I see her walking in perfect time
She gives me reason to carry on
Shake the tree you find
Shake, don't cut it down

Glamor takes it's toll on you
You throw away what's out of view
Pearls of wisdom hang round your neck
They warm to the touch of your perfect skin
High, high, high, high, high, high

I see her walking in perfect time
She gives me reason to carry on
Shake the tree you find
Shake, don't cut it down

Shake the tree you find
(I see her walking in perfect time)
Shake, don't cut it down
(She gives me reason)
To carry on

I see her walking in perfect time
She gives me reason to never say die

I see her walking in perfect time
(Shake)
She gives me reason to never say die
(The tree you find)
Shake the tree you find
