Steve Kilbey - Shakedown lyrics

rate me

Isadore Columbine woke up in the dunes

How she came to be there no one ever knew, shakedown

They took him in for questioning, they didn't get a thing

They said she shouldn't try to impersonate the king, shakedown

But the bugger'd done his damage the American dream

Voodoo on the covers of all the magazines, shakedown

He took her to his car, and showered her with praise

Married to an astronaut she disappeared for days, shakedown

Everybody cried, said they'd never seen a star

Shine as bright at Columbine in a burning car, shakedown
