Lyrics Shakedown Street - Grateful Dead

Shakedown Street

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 that’s cuz it’s midnight
In the dark of the moon besides
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!
Nothing 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.
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 stop
Maybe you had too much to fast
Maybe you had too much to fast
Maybe you had too much to fast
Maybe you had too much to fast
Maybe you had too much to fast
Maybe you had too much to fast
Or just over played your part.
Nothing 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 passing your way today
well, well, well, you can never tell
I just stopped in cuz I wanna say,
well, well, well, you can never tell
I recall your darkness
When it crackled 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 can hear it beat out loud!
Nothing 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.
