WHITESNAKE - Breakdown lyrics

rate me

Getting near the endnow 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' rollcouldn't make your soul

Didn't burn you to the bone.

Do what the man saystake the money and run.

ButI 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' rollcouldn't make your soul

Didn't burn you to the bone.

Do what the man saystake the money and run.

ButI 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' rollcouldn't make your soul

Didn't burn you to the bone.

Do what the man saystake the money and run.

ButI 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.

(solo)

Getting near the endnow 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' rollcouldn't make your soul

Didn't burn you to the bone.

Do what the man saystake the money and run.

ButI 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.
