3.Shakedown Street

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 that's cause it's midnight, in the dark of the moon
besides.

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. used to be the heart of
town.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart. you just gotta poke
around.

You think you've seen this town clear through.
Well, well, well, you can never tell.
Nothin' here that could int'rest you. well, well, well, you can
never tell.
It's not because you missed out on the thing that 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.
Or just over played your part.

Nothin' shakin' on shakedown street. used to be the heart of
town.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart. you just gotta poke
around.

Since i'm passing your way today. well, well, well, you can
never tell.
I just stopped in 'cause i want to say, well, well, well, you
can never tell.
I recall your darkness when it crackled like a thundercloud.

Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.
When i can hear it beat out loud!

Nothin' shakin' on shakedown street. used to be the heart of
town.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart. you just gotta poke
around.
