Well how you shake it
How you shake it so easily?
And how you drift
How you drift so slow?

Where were you when I was down?
Where were you when I couldn't stay?
Where were you when my hand shook?
Give me a chance and I'll open the door

Just don't drift off too easily
Work just a little bit more
Take my hand, it's shaking, lord
Write my mother so she knows

How you shake it
How you shake it so easily?
And how you drift
How you drift so slow?

Get your drink out, pour it down your throat
Feel you heartbeat nice and slow
Lay down and close your eyes
Here's your chance to take control

Just don't drift off too easily
Work just a little bit more
Take my hand, it's shaking, lord
Write my mother so she knows
