mental shakedown

are we locked up to each other

must we stir through the ashes

stir through the ashes of the past

for a time it was tough to survive

but it's time to get on with our lives

and now you've gotta do a mental shakedown

what is it gonna take your sanity's at stake

shakedown

yeah yeah

there's a cold wind off the border tonight

as we take to the ridges

burning our bridges to the past

and the cry rises from the west

we are not each others to possess

now you've gotta do a mental shakedown

what is it gonna take your sanity's at stake

shakedown

now you've gotta do a mental shakedown

what is it gonna take your sanity's at stake

shakedown

you've got you've got

now you've got to do your mental shakedown

what is it gonna take

you're sanity's at stake

shakedown

yeah

now you've got to do a mental shakedown

what's it gonna take

shakedown

yeah you've got to do your mental shakedown

what is it gonna take

you're sanity's at stake

shakedown
