Shakedown Street Songtext
von Poolside

You tell me this town ain′t got no heart
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
The sunny side of the street is dark
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)

Maybe it's ′cause it's midnight
And the dark of the moon decides
Or maybe the dark is from your eyes
(Maybe the dark is from your eyes)
Maybe the dark is from your eyes
(Maybe the dark is from your eyes)
Maybe the dark is from your eyes
(Maybe the dark is from your eyes)
You know you got such dark eyes

Nothin' shakin′ on Shakedown Street (Shakedown Street)
Used to be the heart of town (heart of town)
Don′t tell me this town ain't got no heart (don′t tell me this town ain't got no heart)
You just gotta poke around (you just gotta poke around)


You say you′ve seen this town clear through
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
Nothin' here that could interest you
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)

It′s not because you missed out
On the thing we had to start
Maybe you had too much too fast
(Maybe you had too much too fast)
Maybe you had too much too fast
(Maybe you had too much too fast)
Maybe you had too much too fast
(Maybe you had too much too fast)
And just overplayed your part

Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street (Shakedown Street, Shakedown Street)
Used to be the heart of town (heart of town, heart of town)
Don′t tell me this town ain′t got no heart (don't tell me this town ain′t got no heart, ain't got no heart)
You just gotta poke around (poke around, poke around)


Well, well, well, oh-oh-oh
You can never tell
Nothin′ shakin' on Shakedown
Well, well, well
You can never tell, mm-mm
You got me shakin′ on Shakedown Street
Well, well, well
Well, well, well, mm
Well, well, well
You can never tell, mm (woo-oo)
Yeah, yeah
