Can't Shake It

There's a lady come lately
She's dancing with me in the street
And though I know we're both faking
I'm not waiting for loose ends to meet
See she's holding me close
And I don't even know her last name
And I might hate myself in the morning
But tonight it's okay

Spent the night at this party
With people that I hardly knew
And they were talking ambition
As I was listening my resentment grew
So I mulled in the corner
And drank 'till I wasn't afraid
And I said, "I might hate myself in the morning,
But you're also a waste"

See, we know no blood flows in the dry desert clay
Hard lessons I learned on an October day
And I can't shake 'em off
I can't shake them off

So he said with a vengeance
"Hey you, why don't you keep your mouth shut"
And I said, "What's gonna happen
You fat-assed fool, so then what"
So I followed him outside
And I made sure I took the first swing
Knowing tonight what's so god damn important
Doesn't really mean a thing

See, we know no blood flows in the dry desert clay
Hard lessons I learned on an October day
And I can't shake 'em off
No, I can't shake 'em off
Oh, I can't shake them off
I can't shake them off
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
