No matter what
you think you hold
you'll find it's not enough
No matter who
you think you know
you won't get through
Well it's a given L.A. law
someone's faster
on the draw
no matter where you hide
I'm comin' after you
No matter how
the race is won
it always ends the same
Another room
without a view
awaits downtown
You can shake me
for a while
live it up in style
no matter what you do
I'm gonna take you down
Shakedown, breakdown
takedown
everybody wants
into the crowded light
Breakdown, takedown
you're busted
Let down
your guard honey
at just about the time
you're thinkin' it's alright
Breakdown, takedown
you're busted
This is a town
where everyone
is reaching for the top
This is a place
where second best
will never do
It's okay
to want to shine
but once you step
across that line
No matter where you hide
I'm comin' after you
Shakedown, breakdown
takedown
everybody wants
into the crowded light
Breakdown, takedown
you're busted
Shakedown, breakdown
honey at just about
the time
you're thinkin' it's alright
Breakdown, takedown
you're busted
Shakedown, breakdown
takedown
everybody wants
into the crowded light
Breakdown, takedown
shakedown
you're busted
Shakedown, breakdown
honey at just about
the time
you're thinkin' it's alright
Breakdown, takedown
shakedown
you're busted
Shakedown, breakdown
takedown
everybody wants
into the crowded light
Breakdown, takedown
you're busted
Let down, you're gone
honey at just about
the time
you're thinkin' it's alright
Breakdown, takedown
you're busted
Shakedown, breakdown
takedown
everybody wants
into the crowded light
