Edsel - Shake Out Your Shirt Lyrics

At the far end of the folding table
You sat sniffling
Then came the yelling
I could see you saw at your legs
Form over function
It was worse than friction at a formal function

Stripped of tension, apprehension
(I want to shake out your shirt)
I'm anxious
Stripped of tension, apprehension
(I want to shake out your shirt)
I'm eager

I won't pay, no I won't pay
For something so weak and stale
That's tucked away in corners
Against a sky-stretched canvas of bandits
Tearing at the angel's share is pointless
It's pointless

At the near side of the swiveling chair
You stood shuffling
Then came the scratching
Why do you choose to chew on your words?
Punctuation over purpose
It was worse than a purchase at a penny circus

I want to shake out your shirt
