lyrics

I Can’t Shake it
words and music by Jill Tracy


No medicine for this malady
No snake oil, no gris gris
There’s no magic potion, no afterglow
No backstage exit
To some secret show

And I’m screaming at these four walls
Shivering from the thought

That I just can’t shake it baby
Because the words intoxicate me
I won’t surrender from this state I’m in
Held guilty of magnificent sin
Because I just can’t shake it baby

No sanctuary, no antidote
No saving grace, no Holy Ghost
There’s no diamond powder, no parlour trick
No bloodletting, this one cuts to the quick

And I’m screaming at these four walls
Shivering from it all

And I just can’t shake it baby
Because the words intoxicate me
I won’t surrender from this state I’m in
Held guilty of magnificent sin

No I just won’t let it freeze beneath my fingertips
No I just won’t let it disappear inside of my head
I’m drowning in these words nobody’s ever heard
Sinking so fast, I’m never coming back

And I just can’t shake it baby
Cause there’s no cure today

No I just won’t let it freeze beneath my fingertips
No I just won’t let it disappear inside of my head
I’m drowning in these words nobody’s ever heard
Gathering clouds, I’m never coming down

But I could be good, if you just let me
This big white light shining down
On me
