[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Carol had went to hurl herself out of a window (Carol went to)
She couldn't find any reason for hangin' around (Any reason)
Everyone stood and they stared and they tried to get closer (Everyone stood)
To see the look on her face when she hit the ground (to - she hit the ground)
[Chorus]
Gets his Foot on the gas
And his spine to the ground
You don't need a partner to move to this sound
So called "Mo-rning Shake"
[Verse 2]
David had started his car and closed the garage door (David started)
He couldn't stand that his Prom date left him behind (Prom date left)
Everyone cried and they lied about how much they loved him (Everyone lied)
Even though he was an asshole when he was alive (Ooh - he was alive)
[Chorus]
With his Foot on the gas
And his pine to the ground
Don't need a partner to move to this sound
So called "Mo-rning Shake"
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Kevin had carried his radio into the bathtub (In the bathtub)
To feel the beat of the music that no one can hear (A new sound)
Eveyone tried to decypher a plausible reason (Eveyone tried)
To live in lame and explain all of their fears (To - all of their fears)
[Chorus]
Gets his Foot on the gas
And his spine to the ground
You don't need a partner to move to this sound
So called "Mo-rning Shake"
