David Coverdale Lyrics for Song: Breakdown
 Lyrics for Album: Northwinds [2000]
 
 
 
 17722>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
