I can hear by your voice you're out of breath,
it's the way you can hardly sing,
Beat it out, beat it out of your chest,
You're so bright, you're so happenin'
Put it down to your dark experience,
It's okay when you can't go on,
Get your kicks & you can get serious,
I was there when you phoned again,
when you need a friend till the very end
chorus:
Shake now, breakdown
Everything's okay, everything's alright
Hold your head low,
Everything's okay, everything's alright
Tell the treat from the thing you feel inside,
'Cause that's a dream that you can't abide
Get the stick, hit it hard on the ground
Get your steps up and turn around
(chorus)
Speak of angels, sunlit stories,
freaks who get it right
losers take the winners &
the dullest make the brightest light
Fate put it down to your dark experience
it's okay when you can't go on
Get your kicks & you can get serious
I was there when you phoned again,
when you need a friend till the very end
(chorus)
Shake now,
break right down
Shake now,
break right down
(x2)
