Shake It Down Lyrics


Thompson Twins Shake It Down


The man from Japan says it's all a karma thrill
Before you can fly, you've gotta feel the chill
So if you dance all the way from the cradle to the grave
Well, you have to do it all again until your soul is saved

Where do I go from here?
There's gotta be a hole in the sky somewhere
I don't wanna come back 'round
I'm tired of being earthbound
Shake it down
You gotta make time to shake it
Shake it down
If at no time you're gonna make it
Shake it down
If you can't make it, fake it
Shake it down

All right
Shake it down

Do dada do

Philosophy will grow on trees if you just leave it alone
And love will often multiply 'cos you make more than you know

Where do I go from here?
There's gotta be a hole in the sky somewhere
I don't wanna come back 'round
I'm tired of being earthbound
Shake it down
You gotta make time to shake it
Shake it down
If at no time you're gonna make it
Shake it down
If you can't make it, fake it
Shake it down

All right
Shake it down

Hey, a soul can't be bought, nor can a soul be sold
'Cos it is just what it is, like a rose is just a rose
And if you dance all the way from the cradle to the grave
Well, you'll have to do it all again until your soul is saved

Where do I go from here?
There's gotta be a hole in the sky somewhere
I don't wanna come back 'round
I'm tired of being earthbound
(Shake it down)
You gotta make time to shake it
(Shake it down)
If at no time you're gonna make it
(Shake it down)
(If you can't make it,0 fake it
(Shake it down)

All right
Shake it down

O you gotta make time to shake it
Shake it down
If at no time you're gonna make it
Shake it down
If you can't make it, fake it
Shake it down

All right
Shake it down

All (Do dada do)
Shake it down

Do dada do
Shake it down
Do dada do
Shake it down
Do dada do
