Breakdown — David Coverdale

(coverdale/moody)

Getting near the end, now 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, couldnt make your soul,

Didnt 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 Im 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 roll, couldnt make your soul,

Didnt 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 Im told.

Its 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 Ive had my say

Shot you full of rock n roll, couldnt make your soul,

Didnt 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 Im told

Its just a breakdown,

Breakdown,

Breakdown,

Its just a breakdown

Getting near the end, now 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, couldnt make your soul,

Didnt 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 Im told

Its just a breakdown,

Breakdown,

Breakdown,

Breakdown
