D-DU-UDU
No matter what you think you pull..you'll find
it's not enough.
No matter who you think you know..you won't get
through.
It's a given, L.A. law, someone's faster on the draw..
no matter where you hide..I'm comin' after you.
No matter how the race is won..it always ends the same.
Another room without a view awaits downtown.
You can shake me for a while..live it up, in style..
no matter what you do..I'm gonna take you down.
Shakedown, breakdown, take-down..everybody wants into
the crowded line.
Breakdown, take-down, you're busted.
Let down, your guard, honey..just about the time you're
thinking it's alright.
Breakdown, take-down, you're busted.
(INTERLUDE:) (x2)
This is a town where everyone is reaching for the top.
This is a place where second best will never do.
It's O.K. to want to shine..but once you step across
that line..no matter where you hide I'm comin' after you.
Shakedown, breakdown, take-down..everybody wants into
the crowded line.
Breakdown, take-down, you're busted.
Shakedown, breakdown, honey..just about the time you're
thinking it's alright.
Breakdown, take-down, you're busted.
(INTERLUDE:) (x1)... (x4)
Shakedown, breakdown, take-down..everybody wants into
the crowded line.
Breakdown, take-down, you're busted.
Shakedown, breakdown, honey..just about the time you're
thinking it's alright.
Breakdown, take-down, you're busted.
Shakedown, breakdown, take-down..everybody wants into
the crowded line.
Breakdown, take-down, you're busted.
Let down, your guard, honey..just about the time you're
thinking it's alright.
Breakdown, take-down, you're busted.
Shakedown, breakdown, take-down..everybody wants into
the crowded line.
Breakdown, take-down, you're busted.
Shakedown, breakdown, honey..just about the time you're
thinking it's alright.
Breakdown, take-down, you're busted...(Fade.)
An eighties smash from Kraziekhat.
