Lyrics
You've been fightin' this addiction baby
Sweatin' through your yellow shirt
Your mind is gonna bend
Your bones are gonna hurt
It's got you down and roadhouse bound
The backroom boys wanna watch you drown
But hey
You've gotta do the DTs shake
Why you gotta use me
Why do you have to pretend
Pretty words in a line I can't comprehend
The wolves are beatin' at my back door
You just keep takin' more and more
But hey
You're gonna do the DTs shake
Mama you know I ain't a millionaire
I got coffee for my lunch and my subway fare
While you're ridin' the red-eye to shadowland
Your brain's in the clouds and your head's in the sand
But listen to me talkin' honey
Don't you jump and shout
I've been down to Chinatown
I know what I'm talkin' about
Now in your youth you're gettin' old
Stick between the hedges stay on the road
And hey
You're gonna do the DTs shake
Yeah you're gonna do the DTs shake
Yeah the DTs shake
DT
