The Phantom Limbs - Shake A Baby

SHAKE A BABY

i get whisked into a room
telling you i know where everything should stand
stay in your place
stay in your place

i walked away from you
amusement center on top of the hill
fell into the mud running up the steps
we got separated until

look over and the guy has your shirt off.
you're on your back
he's kneeling on the bed behind your head

rubbing your face, head, and torso briskly and roughly.

two other guys come they pick you up
they all pick you up

carrying you off to the performance
they take you a few feet inside
they toss you into the air. and
spin you like a top

i know where things should stand

you were supposed to land gracefully
you fell on your face
