David Coverdale - Breakdown Lyrics
(coverdale/moody)Getting near the end, now I knew the time was right for a breakdownMegaton surprise but your eyes never made it a shakedownShot you full of rock n roll, couldnt make your soul,Didnt burn you to the boneDo what the man says, take the money and runBut, I never saw the splendourIn stealing all your gold,Taking all your silverAnd doing what Im toldI never saw the tears but I knew you cried for rhythm n bluesScreaming like a wildcat I knew that I had nothing to loseShot you full of rock n roll, couldnt make your soul,Didnt burn you to the boneDo what the man says, take the money and runBut, I never saw the splendourIn stealing all your gold,Taking all your silverAnd doing what Im told.Its just a breakdown,Breakdown,Breakdown,BreakdownShaking like a leaf in the wind see me blowing awayNever see me fall on the ground till Ive had my sayShot you full of rock n roll, couldnt make your soul,Didnt burn you to the boneDo what the man says, take the money and runBut, I never saw the splendourIn stealing all your gold,Taking all your silverAnd doing what Im toldIts just a breakdown,Breakdown,Breakdown,Its just a breakdownGetting near the end, now I knew the time was right for a breakdownMegaton surprise but your eyes never made it a shakedownShot you full of rock n roll, couldnt make your soul,Didnt burn you to the boneDo what the man says, take the money and runBut, I never saw the splendourIn stealing all your gold,Taking all your silverAnd doing what Im toldIts just a breakdown,Breakdown,Breakdown,Breakdown
