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
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
