Black cards in effigy

We sing the song that was hated

All dressed like vagabonds

Sharks smell the blood that I'm bleedin'

I know there's something wrong

Might take a fire to kill it

Might take a hurricane

Don't know the life that I'm leavin'

Ohh ohh oh black tambourine

Ohh ohh oh black tambourine

My baby run to me

She lives in broken-down buildings

Can't pay the rent again

These spider webs are my home now

And when the sun is down

We'll shake and rattle our bodies

To keep it warm at night

My tambourine is still shaking

Ohh ohh oh black tambourine

Ohh ohh oh black tambourine

Doo doo doo doo

Black cards in effigy

We sing the song that was hated

All dressed like vagabonds

Sharks smell the blood that I'm bleedin'

I know there's something wrong

Might take a fire to kill it

Might take hurricane

Don't know the life that I'm leavin'

Black tambourine

Ohh ohh oh black tambourine

Doo doo doo doo
