I'd love to take this lying down   But the world we know has lost it's crown   All night talking jazz cigarettes   Is never gonna change this killer town      I see her walking in perfect time   She gives me reason to carry on      Round the corner comes salvations   Made to order is what you found   Why, oh, why do we fool ourselves?   Is it just the need to carry on?      I see her walking in perfect time   She gives me reason to carry on   Shake the tree you find   Shake, don't cut it down      Glamor takes it's toll on you   You throw away what's out of view   Pearls of wisdom hang round your neck   They warm to the touch of your perfect skin   High, high, high, high, high, high      I see her walking in perfect time   She gives me reason to carry on   Shake the tree you find   Shake, don't cut it down      Shake the tree you find   (I see her walking in perfect time)   Shake, don't cut it down   (She gives me reason)   To carry on      I see her walking in perfect time   She gives me reason to never say die      I see her walking in perfect time   (Shake)   She gives me reason to never say die   (The tree you find)   Shake the tree you find
