Lyrics
(Gail Vareilles/Tommy Faragher/Danielle Tersini)
It's a long night
and I'm all alone
It's dark and deep
In the corners of the soul
I can't relax
I can only think of you
I'm breathing your breath
Through and through and through
Oh yeah cause
You grab my heart, then you give it a twist
I can't feel the pain cause it's masked by a kiss
Bound in your arms I let down my guard
It's the shakedown of the heart
Shakedown of the heart
Interrogation, desperation, no salvation
Shakedown of the heart
Here's my confession, my obsession, your possession
Your sweet words
They just won't go away
Your kiss in the night
The chord I'll play and play and play
Oh yeah cause
CHORUS
Bridge: No way out
And nowhere to go
I gave it all away
You shook me down and now it's too late
Here comes the shakedown
CHORUS
