Caption: Tryin’ To Shake The Devil Outta Me rAveNswAn
Picture
Caption: Hey now…
Tell me why
my feet are swinging
Tell me why
I can’t shake loose
Tell me why
I hear angels singing
And why
my head’s on…
On the wrong side
of the noose

Caption: "Tell me why
my feet are swinging."

Caption: (chorus)
They’re just tryin’
to shake the devil outta me
They’re just tryin’
to shake the devil outta me
And the birds…
They’re tryin’
to eat all that I’ve seen
Take my eyes…
But they don’t know
all that it means
I’m like the birds
And I don’t know
all that it means
Picture
Caption: Tell me why
I pay the hangman with my boots
Tell me why
I can’t stop
the pissin’ booze
Tell me why
I’ve got no voice
to sing the blues
And why
my head’s on…
my head’s on
the wrong side
of the noose
Picture
Caption: "Tell me why
I pay the hangman with my boots"
Caption: I’ve got no fight in me left
My song began
with a “Trouble” Clef
But now it ends
here with this rope…
here with this rope
around my neck
Not even a rope can save me
The story of my life
Is old noose now
No, not even a rope can save me
Unless…

They’re just tryin’
to shake the devil outta me
They’re just tryin’
to shake the devil outta me
And the birds…
They’re tryin’
to eat all that I’ve seen
Take my eyes…
But they don’t know
all that it means
I’m like the birds
And I don’t know
all that it means

Caption: I needed saving
They threw me a rope
But over a branch
Then around my neck
Still I don’t know
all that it means
Must be
tryin’ to shake
the devil outta me rAveNswAn
