lyrics

SHOOK UP (from Is Heaven Real)

This is a gathering - of family and friends
To say goodbye - to make amends
It's not the time - to fuss or fight
Let it all go, it’s gonna be all right

I'm all shook up, I'm all shook up x2
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire

Is it Christmas - or is it Halloween
Holidays - that’s not really my scene
I'd rather be alone - inside these prison walls
With the front door locked and the light on at the end of the hall

Some say the world - is coming to an end
They’ll tell you why - they won’t tell you when
The past is always – gonna eat the future
That why you got to practice the - Kama Sutra

Chorus

You contemplate - your own demise
While you’re eating breakfast - I hope includes some home fries
There’s just one song - on my music box
Rock of Ages cleft to me, let me hide myself in thee
Let me hide myself in thee

Chorus
Great balls of fire
