Ooh-la-ooh
Shalaika, ooh-la-ooh-la-ooh-ooh
Ooh-la-ooh
Shalaika, ooh-la-ooh-la-ooh-ooh
I set up a camp in the center of town
Ready for freedom when it all comes down
Snapping my fingers, walking around
I'm the dusty jewel in the thrown-out crown
Got a bus pass to make my way
From hideout to hideout in the heat of the day
I got a talisman tote with the whole array
And when you catch my coat-tails, I'll be miles away
Restless year
It was another restless year
It was a restless year
For a while, we had no fear
Yeah, nobody knows in the all-night diner
Rolling with Rose and Miss Mary L. Steiner
You can't pin her down, you can't define her
Dostoevsky, dime store copy
Ooh-la-ooh
Shalaika, ooh-la-ooh-la-ooh
Ooh-la-ooh
Shalaika, ooh-la-ooh-la-ooh
Making the rounds in my five-dollar dress
I can't go home, though I'm not homeless
I'm just another savage in the wilderness
And if you can't calm down you can listen to this
ย
Death is my former employer
Death is my own Tom Sawyer
Death waits for me to destroy her
I never wanna die and I'll never grow older, yeah
Ooh-la-ooh
Shalaika, ooh-la-ooh-la-ooh-ooh
Ooh-la-ooh
Shalaika, ooh-la-ooh-la-ooh-ooh
Restless year
It was another restless year
It was a restless year
Don't tell me anything I don't want to hear
