The Cure - Shake Dog Shake (studio demo) lyrics

Wake up in the dark The aftertaste of anger in the back of my mouth Spit it on the wall And cough some more and scrape my skin with razor blades Make up in the new blood And try to look so good, follow me Make up in the new blood And follow me to where the real fun is As stale and selfish as a sick dog Spurning s** like an animal of God I'll tear your red hair by the roots and hold you blazing Hold you cherished in the dead electric light Your face I'll never see you this way again I captured it so perfectly As if I knew you'd disappear away Oh, shake, dog, shake You hit me again You howl and hit me again The same sharp pain Wakes me in the dark And cuts me from my throat To my pounding heart My heart, my shaking heart Shake, shake Oh, shake, dog, shake We slept all night in the virgin's bed And dreamed of d**h and breathed like sick dogs We slept all night in the virgin's bed And breathed like d**h and dreamed of sick dogs Shake, shake Oh, shake, dog, shake Wake up, wake up, wake up Shake, dog, shake Wake up in the new blood Make up in the new blood Shake up in the new blood And follow me to where the real fun is Shake, dog, shake
