Grant-Lee Phillips
Sadness Soot
(Verse 1)
I'm movin' with the strength of a spear
I'm cruisin' with the past in my mirror
Done leveling my city of ghosts
Cool ashes, like it's all that she wrote
(Chorus)
Shake off the sadness soot
It's doin' me good
Embrace the solitude
It's doin' me good
(Verse 2)
I'm darting through the traffic alone
Dim shadows carve the streets that I roam
Bewitching is the need to be held
I try to fight it
But I'm under that spell
(Chorus)
Knee deep in sadness soot
It's doin' me good
Embrace the solitude
That's welcoming us
(Bridge)
Face the night
And all its fireworks
Wrap yourself up
In the silence
Birthing dreams of love and hurt
Aborted by the crying sirens
Face the night
Face the night alone
Face the night
Face the night alone
(Verse 3)
I'm swimming with the weight of my heart
Upstream to where the green river parts
Two directions force my will to decide
Shall I drift before I swim for my life?
(Chorus)
Knee deep in sadness soot
We're gathering rust
Embrace the quiet flood
That's welcoming us
Shake loose the sadness
Shake loose the sadness
Shake loose the sadness
Shake it loose, the sadness
Shake it loose, shake it loose, the sadness
Shake it loose, shake it loose, the sadness
Shake it loose, shake it loose, shake it loose
Whoo-Whoo-whoo
Whoo-Whoo-whoo
Whoo-Whoo-whoo
Shake it loose, shake it loose, shake it loose
Shake loose the sadness
Whoo-Whoo-Whoo
