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