Thompson Twins - Shake It Down lyrics

The man from Japan says it's all a karma thrill Before you can fly, you've gotta feel the chill So if you dance all the way from the cradle to the grave Well, you have to do it all again until your soul is saved Where do I go from here? There's gotta be a hole in the sky somewhere I don't wanna come back 'round I'm tired of being earthbound Shake it down You gotta make time to shake it Shake it down If at no time you're gonna make it Shake it down If you can't make it, fake it Shake it down All right Shake it down Philosophy will grow on trees If you just leave it alone And love will often multiply 'Cos you make more than you know Where do I go from here? There's gotta be a hole in the sky somewhere I don't wanna come back 'round I'm tired of being earthbound Shake it down You gotta make time to shake it Shake it down If at no time you're gonna make it

Shake it down If you can't make it, fake it Shake it down All right Shake it down Hey, a soul can't be bought, nor can a soul be sold 'Cos it is just what it is, like a rose is just a rose And if you dance all the way from the cradle to the grave Well, you'll have to do it all again until your soul is saved Where do I go from here? There's gotta be a hole in the sky somewhere I don't wanna come back 'round I'm tired of being earthbound Shake it down You gotta make time to shake it Shake it down If at no time you're gonna make it Shake it down If you can't make it, fake it Shake it down All right Shake it down You gotta make time to shake it Shake it down If at no time you're gonna make it Shake it down If you can't make it, fake it Shake it down All right Shake it down Shake it down Shake it down Shake it down
