Shake 'Em Down

from Another Ghost by Jason Myles Goss

/

lyrics

Well I've got this megaphone
But I can't sleep at all
And it's ten below in Montreal
And I'm slack-jawed and stuck outside

Well I've got these orange peels and this stack of dimes
And these staircase blues that are gonna blow your mind
I'm a straight shooter
Man I like your shoes

Get ready boy 'cause it's coming round
I can't even feel my feet now touching the ground
And I'm wondering child how long it's gonna take to shake 'em down

Well I've got this sledge hammer
So I can break these stones
I've got cheap cologne, so I won't be standing along
What's a matter, can I shake your hand

I've got these slot machines
But only nickels and dimes
Can I have a minute, babe, of your time?
No, you hurt me with the things you say

Get ready boy 'cause it's coming round
I can't even feel my feet now touching the ground
And I'm wondering child how long it's gonna take to shake them down
