David Coverdale - Breakdown lyrics

Getting near the end,

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 vou 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, no way

Never gonna 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, breakdown

Getting near the end,

I knew the time was right

For a breakdown

Megaton surprise, but, your eyes

Never made it a shakedown
