Whitesnake - Breakdown Lyrics
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, couldnt make your soul,Didnt burn you to the bone.Do what the man says, take the money and run.But, I never saw the splendourIn stealing all your gold,Taking all your silverAnd doing what Im 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, couldnt make your soul,Didnt burn you to the bone.Do what the man says, take the money and run.But, I never saw the splendourIn stealing all your gold,Taking all your silverAnd doing what Im told.Its 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 Ive had my say.Shot you full of rock n roll, couldnt make your soul,Didnt burn you to the bone.Do what the man says, take the money and run.But, I never saw the splendourIn stealing all your gold,Taking all your silverAnd doing what Im told.Its just a breakdown,Breakdown,Breakdown,Its just a breakdown.(solo)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, couldnt make your soul,Didnt burn you to the bone.Do what the man says, take the money and run.But, I never saw the splendourIn stealing all your gold,Taking all your silverAnd doing what Im told.Its just a breakdown,Breakdown,Breakdown,Breakdown.
