Wake up in the morning, my hands cold in fear
And midsummer new york my heart shakes in terror
My heart, my hands, my legs, my mind
Evrything I touch is shaking, shaking, shaking, shaking
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, oooh
Wake up in the morning, my beds wet in sweat
And midsummer new york, scream in the mirror
And the door, and the chairs, and the floor, and the ceiling
Evrything you see is aching, shaking, shaking, shaking
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, oooh
And you shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, oooh
Wake up in the morning, my minds dried up in pain
Midsummer new yorks waiting for the rain
The window, the trees, the park, the sun
The whole world s shaking, is shaking, shaking
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, oooh
Shake, oh, shake, oh, shake
Shake, oh, shake, shake
Aching, aching, aching, aching, aching
Oh, its aching, aching, aching, oh, aching
Aching, aching, oh, its aching, aching, oh, oh
Shaking, shaking
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

And midsummer new york my heart shakes in terror
My heart, my hands, my legs, my mind
Evrything I touch is shaking, shaking, shaking, shaking
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, oooh
Wake up in the morning, my beds wet in sweat
And midsummer new york, scream in the mirror
And the door, and the chairs, and the floor, and the ceiling
Evrything you see is aching, shaking, shaking, shaking
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, oooh
