Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart, you just gotta poke around
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown street used to be the heart of town
Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown street used to be the heart of town
Maybe the dark is in your eyes, you know you got such dark eyes
Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown street used to be the heart of town
You say you've seen this town clear through
It's not because you missed out on the thing we had to start
Nothin' here that could interest you
The sunny side of the street is dark
Maybe you had too much too fast and just overplayed your part
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
I recall your darkness when it crackled like a thundercloud
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart when I can hear it beat out loud
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
I just stopped in cause I want to say
Maybe that's 'cause it's midnight and the dark of the moon besides
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart, you just gotta poke around
Since I'm passing your way today
Maybe you had too much too fast, maybe you had too much too fast
(Well, well, well, you can never tell)
Or maybe the dark is in your eyes, maybe the dark is in your eyes
