Shakedown Street (Live at Barton Hall, Ithaca, New York, May 16, 1981) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You tell me this town ain't got no heart
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
The sunny side of the street is dark
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
Maybe it's 'cause it's midnight
In the dark of the moon besides

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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 (Woo)

[Chorus]
Nothing shaking on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
You just gotta poke around

[Verse 2]
You think you've seen this town clear through
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
Nothing here that could interest you
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
It's not because you missed out
On the thing that we had to start

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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)
Or just over-played your part (Woo)

[Chorus]
Nothing shaking on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
You just gotta poke around

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Since I'm passing your way today
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
I just stopped by 'cause I wanna say
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
I recall your darkness when it crackled like a thundercloud

[Pre-Chorus 3]
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 can hear it beat out loud (Woo)

[Chorus]
Nothing shaking on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
You just gotta poke around
Nothing shaking on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
You just gotta poke around
Nothing shaking on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
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)
You just gotta poke around
Nothing shaking on Shakedown Street
(On Shakedown Street)
Used to be the heart of town
(Heart of town)
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)
You just gotta poke around
Nothing shaking on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
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)
You just gotta poke around
Nothing shaking on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
(Used to be the heart of town)
(Used to be the heart of town)
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)
You just gotta poke around

[Bridge]
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
You just gotta poke around
(Just gotta poke around)
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
You just gotta poke around
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
(You just gotta poke around)
You just gotta poke around
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
You just gotta poke around
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
(You just gotta poke around)
You just gotta poke around
(Just gotta poke around, just gotta poke around)
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
(You just gotta poke around)
You just gotta poke around
(Just gotta poke around)
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
(You just gotta poke around)
You just gotta poke around
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
You just gotta poke around

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Nothing shaking on Shakedown Street
You just gotta poke around
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
You just gotta poke around
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
You just gotta poke around
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)
You just gotta poke around
Nothing shaking on Shakedown Street
Used to be the heart of town
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
You just gotta poke around
