Shakedown

No matter what you think you've done

You'll find it's not enough

No matter what you think you know

You won't get through

It's a given, L.A. law Someone's faster on the draw

No matter where you hide

I'm comin' after you

Now matter how the race is won

It always ends the same

Another room without a view

Awaits downtown

You can shake me for a while

Live it up in style

No matter what you do

I'm comin' after you

Shakedown, breakdown, takedown

Everybody wants into the crowded light

Breakdown, takedown, your busted

Let down, your guard, honey

Just about the time you think that it's alright

Breakdown, takedown, your busted

This is a town where everyone

Is reaching for the top

This is a place where sceond best will never do

It's O.K. to want to shine

But once you step across that line

No matter where you hide

I'm comin after you

Shakedown, breakdown, takedown

Everybody wants into the crowded light

Breakdown, takedown, your busted

Shakedown, beakdown, honey

Just about the time you think that it's alright

Breakdown, takedown, your busted
