The Shakedown

Sadie, can you break me?
‘Cause I’m calm now, but I could come around
And I’ll make you, if I see you in the shakedown
Sadie, bring your arms to me
‘Cause I can’t be still until I’ve had my fill
And these people, they are so cold
And their stories, they get so old
In the shakedown
But every now and then I see
That no one is in front of me, no
The people like to laugh and stare
But I can live if there is someone there
Sadie, can you save me?
‘Cause I’ve made up my mind not to ask you twice
And these people, they are so cold
And their stories, they get so old, in the shakedown
