Black hearts in effigy    We sing a song that was hated    All dressed in rag and bones    Sharks smell the blood that I'm bleeding    I know there's something wrong    Might take a fire to kill it    Might take a hurricane    Don't know what life that I'm livin       Black tambourine       My baby run to me    She lives in broken down buildings    Can't pay the rent again    These spider webs are my home now    And when the sun is down    We'll shake and rattle our bodies    To keep it warm at night       My tambourine is still shaking    Black tambourine       Black hearts in effigy    We sing a song that was hated    All dressed in rag and bones    Sharks smell the blood that I'm bleeding    I know there's something wrong    Might take a fire to kill it    Might take a hurricane    Don't know what life that I'm livin       Black tambourine
