lyrics

I’ve still got dirt
Caked beneath my broken fingernails
Still feel the blood
Oozing down in jagged trails
And I think of home
Though I swore never to return
I only wish I’d thought to cross you first

Remember all those years before
We pricked our thumbs and then we swore
We’d never count our sins
Not like the coins in our pockets

But now I’m face down
Face down in the dirt
Why don’t you shake shake shake shake
Me down for all I’m worth
You got me face down
Face down in the dirt
Shake shake shake shake me down
For all I’m worth

I wait for death to claim me
But cheating her just made her angry
And I worshipped you like an old god
All endless toil and no hope for reward


But now I’m face down
Face down in the dirt
Why don’t you shake shake shake shake
Me down for all I’m worth
You got me face down
Face down in the dirt
Shake shake shake shake me down
For all I’m worth
