Black cards in effigy
I know there's something wrong
All dressed like vagabonds
We sing the song that was grievin'
I know there's something wrong
And when the sun is down
Ohh ohh oh, black tambourine
Sharks smell the blood that I'm bleedin'
Don't know the life that I'm livin'
Sharks smell the blood that I'm bleedin'
My tambourine is still shaking
All dressed like vagabonds
We'll shake and rattle our bodies
Ohh ohh oh, black tambourine
Black tambourine
Ohh ohh oh, black tambourine
Can't pay the rent again
Doo doo doo doo
Ohh ohh oh, black tambourine
Might take a hurricane
Might take hurricane
Might take a fire to kill it
Ohh ohh oh, black tambourine
She lives in broken-down buildings
Don't know the life that I'm livin'
To keep it warm at night
These spider webs are my home now
My baby run to me
Might take a fire to kill it
