Breakdown
Whitesnake Song Lyrics
(David Coverdale & Micky Moody) Getting near the end, now I knew the time was right for a breakdown Megaton surprise but your eyes never made it a shakedown Shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul, Didn't burn you to the bone Do what the man says, take the money and run But, I never saw the splendour In stealing all your gold, Taking all your silver And doing what I'm told I never saw the tears but I knew you cried for rhythm 'n' blues Screaming like a wildcat I knew that I had nothing to lose Shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul, Didn't burn you to the bone Do what the man says, take the money and run But, I never saw the splendour In stealing all your gold, Taking all your silver And doing what I'm told. It's just a breakdown, Breakdown, Breakdown, Breakdown Shaking like a leaf in the wind see me blowing away Never see me fall on the ground till I've had my say Shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul, Didn't burn you to the bone Do what the man says, take the money and run But, I never saw the splendour In stealing all your gold, Taking all your silver And doing what I'm told It's just a breakdown, Breakdown, Breakdown, It's just a breakdown Getting near the end, now I knew the time was right for a breakdown Megaton surprise but your eyes never made it a shakedown Shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul, Didn't burn you to the bone Do what the man says, take the money and run But, I never saw the splendour In stealing all your gold, Taking all your silver And doing what I'm told It's just a breakdown, Breakdown, Breakdown, Breakdown |
