A stoner told me life's a pool of water
Dripping from a tambourine
What's it mean
And if you looked at all the good around
All the bad around
All the soft and loud
The lost and found
The faith and doubt
You would see the world's a shaky show
With a cast of animals
It's a zoo of people you don't know
You don't know
Shake the tambourine
Shake the tambourine
And you'll be alright for another day
A sinner says his mind is in the gutter
He tries to load a magazine
But makes a scene
He doesn't want the past to bring him down
So he's leaving town
He takes the pistol out
He points it 'round
And tells the crowd
You would see the world's a shaky show
With a cast of animals
It's a zoo of people you don't know
You don't know
Shake the tambourine
Shake the tambourine
You might be alright for another day
Shake the tambourine
Yeah
