"COME, LIFE, SHAKER LIFE!"

THE MAGNETIC FIELDS

 When they're sure the men are gone
The women sing their favorite song
Our sound spins us around
There is no braying
Voices long ago drowned
Now sound again

Come, life, Shaker life!
Come, life eternal!
Shake shake out of me
All that is carnal
I'll take nimble steps
I'll be a David
I'll show Michael twice
How he behaved
Come, life, Shaker life!
Come, life eternal!
Shake shake out of me
All that is carnal

When they're sure the men are gone
The women sing their favorite song
Our sound spins us around
There is no braying
Voices long ago drowned
Now sound again

Come, life, Shaker life!
Come, life eternal!
Shake shake out of me
All that is carnal
I'll take nimble steps
I'll be a David
I'll show Michael twice
How he behav-ed
Come, life, Shaker life!
Come, life eternal!
Shake shake out of me
All that is carnal
