I recorded this song live all by my lonesome earlier this year. I've been beaten down so much my skin is wearing thin...

Music and lyrics by J. Patrick Sharpe

Girl #1 was a serpent's child
She made me eat a poison apple
Then she got us kicked out of our community
And she left me for the first guy that came along
And ever since I've been exposed to the cruel air
I've had to find some shelter from the rain
I've been beaten down so much my skin is wearing thin
I've got to shake it off and rise again

Girl #2 said that I was strong
And she made me wear my hair out long
Then she cut it off and she laughed at me
And she headed for the other side of town
And I've been wandering around with this bald head
With my strength blowing somewhere in the wind
And I've been losing so long don't know if I can win
I've got to shake it off and rise again

Girl #3, her name was Jezebel
She liked to tell me about all the men she's loved
She said that many preceded me and that many would follow
And then she fell asleep without saying goodnight
And I haven't left the house in a long time
I like to keep the lights turned way down low
It's the shit that happens out of bed that keeps me in
I've got to shake it off and rise again
