Shake Away Lyrics

You know mamma told me now,
you're a child on your way.
Don't you bother looking back
at the steps you took today
If you're swallowed by the road
like a man without a name
cuz' the poison in my skin
has the color of your vein.

Shake away, shake away!
all the many sorrows
Slide away, slide away!
like a rattlesnake
Shake away, shake away!
all the dry and loose skin
All the anger and the hate
like a rattlesnake

Take me away to the wind of November
you are my thunder, my path and my voice
Take me away to the place in your story
'cause I can taste bitterness in your tongue

Can you hear me mamma?
Can you hear me sister? Can you hear me chiiild?
Can you hear me mamma?
Can you hear me sister?
Can you hear me chiiiiild?

Shake away, shake away!
all the many sorrows
Slide away, slide away!
like a rattlesnake
Shake away, shake away!
all the dry and loose skin
All the anger and the hate
like a rattlesnake

Take me away to the wind of November
you are my thunder, my path and my voice
Take me away to the place in your story
'cause I can taste bitterness in your tongue

Can you hear me mamma?
Can you hear me sister?
Can you hear me child, child?
Can you hear me mamma?
Can you hear me sister?
Can you, can you hear me chiiild?
