Song Detail — Shakedown Street (Grateful Dead)
Lyrics
Tell me this town ain't got no heart(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
Sunny side of the street is dark
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
Maybe it's cause it's midnight
And the dark of the moon beside
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
Just gotta poke around
Tell me you seen this town clear through
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
Nothin here that could interest you
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
Not because you missed out
On the things that we had from the 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)
Just overplayed 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
Just gotta poke around
Since I'm passin this way today
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
Just stopped in cause I want to say
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
I recall your darkness
When it crackle 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 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
Just gotta poke around...
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down down
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down down
Nothin shakin on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
Just gotta poke around...
