Lyrics Great Lake Swimmers

Great Lake Swimmers

Shaking All Over

Maybe I was missing something initially

And maybe eventually it will all make sense

Snakes against angels and stairways to heaven

I'm shaking all over and I can't control it

Did you think it was easy, and nearly fall into it?

Wonder if you see it beyond the lip service

Try to accept that it's hard enough

I'm telling you, it's rough

Every day could be our last

Burning, darling, burning fast

Time won't slow for anyone

Out on the tracks at a quarter to one

I accept you, as impossible as it sounds

Impossible the more the barrier

Going down with the ship with a smile, with the family

There aren't any lifeboats to heaven around here

Just misguided people playing Russian roulette

Mistaking kindness for weakness

Thinking like giants and acting like children

Strangers in a hurry

Every day could be our last

Burning, darling, burning fast

Time won't slow for anyone

Out on the tracks at a quarter to one

You set me on fire, then watch me fly

You can see how I burn, you can feel how I try

You're my number one puncher, my number one fist

You're my heaven in my heartbeat and my one true bliss

So let me down on the floor, I can't take anymore

From the snakes against angels and stairways to heaven

And more different faces than a couple of dice

I'm shaking all over and I can't control it

Every day could be our last

Burning, darling, burning fast

Time won't slow for anyone

Out on the tracks at a quarter to one
