Breakdown

(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, 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 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, 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

Never see me 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,

It's 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, 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
