Shakedown Lyrics - Steve Kilbey

Isadore Columbine woke up in the dunes 

How she came to be there no one ever knew, shakedown 

They took him in for questioning, they didn't get a thing 

They said she shouldn't try to impersonate the king, shakedown 

But the bugger'd done his damage, the American dream 

Voodoo on the covers of all the magazines, shakedown 

He took her to his car and showered her with praise 

Married to an astronaut she disappeared for days, shakedown 

Everybody cried, said they'd never seen a star 

Shine as bright at Columbine in a burning car, shakedown
