The Escape Club - Shake for the Sheik Lyrics

All around the big bad world
On the CIA machine
Ten, ten, the President's men
In a big black limousine
There's an ICBM flyin' by
Get down and get to work
High, high, we're high and dry
And we're dancing in the dirt

Going to shake for the sheik
'Til I feel my body break
I've got reds in the bed
Hear them dancing in my head
Going to shake for the sheik
'Til I feel my body break
I've got the blues, bad news
My heart's dropped down to my shoes
Yeah, yeah

Shake

From the holy temples of Beirut
To the factories of Japan
You've got to shine your shoes and hide your loot
And get rich while you can
There's a redneck rapping at my door
With bibles and grenades
And I'm fighting for a one man's war
In bad black mirror shades

Going to shake for the sheik
'Til I feel my body break
I've got reds in the bed
Hear them dancing in my head
Going to shake for the sheik
'Til I feel my body break
I've got the blues, bad news
My heart's dropped down to my shoes
Yeah, yeah

Shake
Shake

Fat cats, big ass rats
Jumping to the beat
Black, black oil and crack
In a big black limousine

Going to shake for the sheik
'Til I feel my body break
I've got reds in the bed
Hear them dancing in my head
Going to shake for the sheik
'Til I feel my body break
I've got the blues, bad news
My heart's dropped down to my shoes

Going to shake for the sheik
'Til I feel my body break
I've got reds in the bed
Hear them dancing in my head
Going to shake for the sheik
'Til I feel my body break
I've got the blues, bad news
My heart's dropped down to my shoes
Yeah yeah

Shake (yeah yeah)
Shake
Shake
