Lyrics

[00:26.570] You're tellin' me this town ain't got no heart
[00:31.490] (Well, well, well, you can never tell)
[00:35.390] The sunny side of the street is dark
[00:39.690] (Well, well, well, you can never tell)
[00:44.230] Maybe that's 'cause it's midnight
[00:48.460] In the dark of the moon besides
[00:52.900] Maybe the dark is from your eyes
[00:55.110] (Maybe the dark is from your eyes)
[00:57.200] Maybe the dark is from your eyes
[00:59.450] (Maybe the dark if from your eyes)
[01:01.690] Maybe the dark is from your eyes
[01:03.800] (Maybe the dark is from your eyes)
[01:06.210] You know you got such dark eyes
[01:10.570] Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street
[01:14.770] Used to be the heart of town
[01:19.260] Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
[01:23.800] You just gotta poke around
[01:29.010]
[01:45.680] You think you've seen this town clear through
[01:50.060] (Well, well, well, you can never tell)
[01:54.270] Nothin' here that could interest you
[01:58.540] (Well, well, well, you can never tell)
[02:04.190] It's not because you missed out
[02:07.600] On the thing that we had, to start
[02:11.770] Maybe you had too much too fast
[02:14.100] (Maybe you had too much too fast)
[02:16.100] Maybe you had too much too fast
[02:18.280] (Maybe you had too much too fast)
[02:20.470] Maybe you had too much too fast
[02:22.710] (Maybe you had too much too fast)
[02:25.130] And just overplayed your part
[02:29.730] Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street
[02:33.620] Used to be the heart of town
[02:38.040] Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
[02:42.410] You just gotta poke around
[02:47.380]
[03:04.500] Since I'm passing your way today
[03:08.660] (Well, well, well, you can never tell)
[03:13.080] I just stopped in 'cause I want to say
[03:17.460] (Well, well, well, you can never tell)
[03:23.070] I recall your darkness
[03:26.060] When it crackled like a thundercloud
[03:30.540] Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
[03:32.860] (Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart)
[03:35.020] Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
[03:37.080] (Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart)
[03:39.320] Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
[03:41.570] (Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart)
[03:43.750] When I can hear it beat out loud
[03:48.260] Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street
[03:52.480] Used to be the heart of town
[03:56.850] Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
[04:01.190] You just gotta poke around
[04:05.600] Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street
[04:09.970] Used to be the heart of town
[04:14.340] Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
[04:18.630] You just gotta poke around
[04:23.210] Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street
[04:27.580] Used to be the heart of town
[04:31.890] Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
[04:36.320] You just gotta poke around
[04:40.640] Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street
[04:44.930] Used to be the heart of town
[04:49.110] Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
[04:53.320]
[04:53.780]
