Shakin' the Cage Songtext

von Icehouse

Heeeeeeeyyyyyyyy!!!!!

Well, we walk like thieves
On the cutting edge.
And we breathe like animals
And we think like men
Beyond the law.
With our best shades on
And a suit and tie
We look so respectable.
But we think like men
Hmm yeah
Beyond the law.

Oh baby, don't you hear the call?
Don't you hear the call? (hear)
The sound of that raw nerve screaming

Well it's a hot night, hot night
(down below, down below)
In this big city, big city
(movin' on, movin' on)
We gotta get goin', get goin'
(celebrate, celebrate)
Shake down, shake down
Shakin' the cage

Well, the monkey see
And the monkey do
It's so predictable.
Monkey shakin' the cage (cage)
This monkey needs
Something more.

Oh baby, don't you hear the call? (hear the call?)
Don't you hear the call? (Hear the call?)
(Ooh ooh ooh)
Oh baby, baby, don't you hear the call? (hear the call?)
Don't you hear the sound? (hear the sound?)
(Ohhhhhh) The sound of that raw nerve screaming

Well it's a hot night, hot night
(down below, down below)
In this big city, big city
(movin' on, movin' on)
We gotta get goin', get goin'
(celebrate, celebrate)
Shake down, shake down
Shakin' the cage

Well it's a hot night, hot night
(down below, down below) Wooo
In this big city, big city
(movin' on, movin' on) Mmm
We gotta get goin', get goin'
(celebrate, celebrate)
Shake down, shake down
Shakin' the cage

And it's a hot night, hot night
(down below, down below) Mmm, yeah
In this big city, big city
(movin' on, movin' on) Mmm
We gotta get goin', get goin'
(celebrate, celebrate) Mmm yeah
Shake down, shake down
Shakin' the cage

And it's a hot night, hot night...[fade]
