Shakedown Songtext
von Koethe

I was done, I was over
With the tales, with the stories
I had spun, for the love of it
I was fucked, I was fucked up
I was caught, I was caught up in the way
That it could have been

And do you wonder what it′s like to lose your head?

So sick, I think I need a way out
So stuck, I'm plannin′ my escape now
Can't take it, gotta break it somehow
Ready for it, welcome to the shakedown

(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh)
Welcome to the shakedown
(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh)
Welcome to the shakedown


And down, but not out for the count
Are we there, is it almost time?
Are we young? Are we older?
Are we high? Are we sober yet?
Will it hurt when we cross the line?

And do you know what it is like to lose your mind?

So sick, I think I need a way out
So stuck, I'm planning my escape now
Can′t take it, gotta break it somehow
Ready for it, welcome to the shakedown

(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh)
Welcome to the shakedown
(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh)
Welcome to the shakedown

I was done, I was over
My head, I was drownin′
Inescapable, was it?
I was left, I was locked up
I was held, I was caught up in the way
That it should have been


(Oh, whoa-oh)
So sick, I think I need a way out
So stuck, I'm plannin′ my escape now
Can't take it, gotta break it somehow
Ready for it, welcome to the shakedown

(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh)
Welcome to the shakedown
(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh)
Welcome to the shakedown

(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh)
Welcome to the shakedown
(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh)
Welcome to the shakedown
