Lyrics The Escape Club

The Escape Club

Shake For The Sheik

All around the big bad world

On the CIA machine

Ten, ten, the President's men

In a big black limousine

There; s an ICBM flying by

Get down and get to work

High, high, we're high and dry

And dancing in the dirt

Gonna shake for the sheik

Till I feel my body break

I've got reds in the bed

Hear them dancing in my head

Gonna shake for the sheik

Till I feel my body break

I got the blues, bad news

My heart's dropped down

To my shoes, yeah, yeah

Shake

From the holy temples of Beruit

To the factories of Japan

You gotta shine your shoes

And hide your loot

And get rich while you can

There's a redneck

Barefoot at my door

With bibles and grenades

Can I fight him for a one man war

In bad black mirror shades

Gonna shake for the sheik

Till I feel my body break

I've got reds in the bed

Hear them dancing in my head

Gonna shake for the sheik

Till I feel my body break

I got the blues, bad news

My heart's dropped down

To my shoes, yeah, yeah

Shake, shake

Fat cats, big ass rats

Jumping to the beat

Black, black oil and crack

In a big black limousine

Gonna shake for the sheik

Till I feel my body break

I've got reds in the bed

Hear them dancing in my head

Gonna shake for the sheik

Till I feel my body break

I got the blues, bad news

My heart's dropped down

To my shoes, yeah, yeah

(2x)

Shake, yeah, yeah

Shake, shake

Shake, s-s-s-shake

Shake

S-s-s-shake, shake

Shake, s-s-s-shake...
