Shakedown
by Rick Cua

Album: Can't Stand Too Tall

Deep in my heart, I've had this feeling that something's going on,
An unfamiliar rumbling in the walls,
The nervous smile, the sudden tension - this little game's becoming work for you,
You hide it well, but eyes always tell the truth.

The story reads itself, you turn to someone else.

Shakedown - Wasn't it you who told me to be strong?
Shakedown - And wasn't it you who told me all along?

God's love goes on; now you won't take it,
Another one has got you mesmerised,
All I can do is pray while you fantasise,
When I get sleep, in my dreams I see him helping himself to you,
Kills me to see this nightmare you're going through.

Lies got in your head; I can't help seeing red.

Shakedown - Suddenly you feel you don't belong,
Shakedown - I don't wanna believe a heart could go so wrong.

A heart so strong could go so wrong,
A heart so strong, (shakedown, shakedown)
A heart so strong could go so wrong,
A heart so strong. (shakedown, shakedown)

God's love dries a million tears,
Your silence rings loud and clear.

Shakedown - Wasn't it you who told me to be strong?
Shakedown - And wasn't it you who said God's love goes on?
Shakedown - Is love that easy to erase?
Shakedown - Shakedown, don't let you choice be your mistake,
Shakedown,
Shakedown,
