SHAKES (Track 11 on Royal Jelly)

the tender ear pressed against the heart
that beats its subtle music in the dark
you leaned on the rail and the waves tore the sails to pieces
in a sea of white horses above
we shivered like orphans of love
and when we reached for the reigns
the wind tore the sky with thunder

you gimme the shakes
i get those shakes
and I know I drew a line here in the sand
you gimme the shakes
I get those shakes
now girl, I'm such a shaky, shaky man

now babe, I don't mean to offend
I just wanna be your good, good, friend
wipe the face-paint away, I've got to see your skin tonight
we're just tiny boats tossed by the sea
on sexual rip-tides that we breathe
causing shipwrecks, I'll kiss your neck and let's go under

you'll get those shakes
I'll give you the shakes
and I'll rattle your bones baby now
you'll get those shakes
I'll give you the shakes
I'm just a shaking, shivering hound
