Lyrics Kasey Chambers – Shackle

Shackle and chain, shackle and chain
Fierce as a fire on the lion’s mane
Shackle and chain, shackle and chain
When the blood runs dry and you die just to give it away

Shackle and chain, shackle and chain
Fierce as a fire on the lion’s mane
Shackle and chain, shackle and chain
When the blood runs dry and you die just to give it away
Runs dry and you die just to give it away, hey

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

Well I met me a man on the side of a mountain
Said he’d love me like a honey to the bee
And he’s the heir to the company, one quarter Cherokee
He said he want to marry me

And my mother was a saint but I got me a sin
That I’ll keep until my cover is blown
Well I said I wasn’t willing, he looked nothing like a Dylan
But he loved me like a rolling stone

Shackle and chain, shackle and chain
Fierce as a fire on the lion’s mane
Shackle and chain, shackle and chain
When the blood runs dry and you die just to give it away
Runs dry and you die just to give it away, hey

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

Well there’s a seat at the table with the twelve disciples
And I’m waiting for a friend of mine
And Judas was the cutest with his hand on the bible
Said he’s gonna turn my water to wine
And you can lead a man to that holy water
And he oughta drink it every time
Well I got down on my knees every third and sell for pieces
He chose me over Jesus Christ
Yeah, he chose me over Jesus Christ

Shackle and chain, shackle and chain
Fierce as a fire on the lion’s mane
Shackle and chain, shackle and chain
When the blood runs dry and you die just to give it away
Runs dry and you die just to give it away
Runs dry and you die just to give it away
Runs dry and you die just to give it away
