Shake It Lyrics and music by David Bowie I feel like a sail-boat Adrift on the sea It's a brand new day So when you gonna phone me I could take you to heaven I could spin you to hell But I'll take you to New York It's the place that I know well Sitting on a flagstone talking to a faceless girl Wondering what to say but my eyes do the talking so well I duck and I sway - what's my line Shoot at a full moon - what's my line What's my line - shake it baby Cause love is the answer Love's talking to me I'd scream and I'll fight for you You're better than money We're the kind of people who can shake it if we're feeling blue When I'm feeling disconnected well I sure know what to do Shake it baby I duck and I sway - what's my line Shoot at a full moon - what's my line What's my line - shake it baby (repeat)
