Breakdown Lyrics - Singles - David Coverdale

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 and 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 splendor 

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 and blues 

Screaming like a wildcat I knew that I had nothing to lose 

Shot you full of rock and 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 splendor 

In stealing all your gold 

Taking all your silver 

And doing what I'm told 

It's just a breakdown 

Breakdown 

Breakdown 

Breakdown 

Oh, look out 

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 and 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 splendor 

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 

Oh, look out 

[Incomprehensible] 

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 and 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 splendor 

In stealing all your gold 

Taking all your silver 

And doing what I'm told 

It's just a breakdown 

Breakdown 

Breakdown 

Breakdown 

Oh, look out
