THE DOPPLER EFFECT LYRICS

"The Shakedown"

I've come too far to let this go

I'm taking the words right out of notes you wrote

And if I keep the best you're sure to find

That you could never really make it alone



All aboard

I think its safe to say lets celebrate

I just cant wait until the curtain call

I've given it all just to make the grade

Over and over



It's lust for what we do

Yes it's our own obsession

And we have every intention of sticking around



This is the shakedown

The first step

This is the spotlight you never knew you left

This is me trying to set the stage

But you're never gonna get it

No you're never gonna get it right



This is the shakedown

The first step

This is the spotlight you never knew you left

This is me trying to set the stage

But you're never gonna get it

No you're never gonna get it right



Since when is it cool to have fun?

To have a smile on your face

When you do what you love



I thought this was a serious business

Don't be so serious!



It's lust for what we do

Yes its our own obsession

And we have every intention of sticking around



This is the shakedown

The first step

This is the spotlight you never knew you left

This is me trying to set the stage

But you're never gonna get it

No you're never gonna get it right



This is the shakedown

The first step

This is the spotlight you never knew you left

This is me trying to set the stage

But you're never gonna get it

No you're never gonna get it right



Oh, let's go!

Was it your plan for me to give you away?

No it's not what you wanted

No thats not what you wanted

You've got nerve thinking I wouldn't say

Anything to your face

Just when you thought you were safe



There goes another night

The memories pile high

We'll fight our last fight

To grab your attention

And satisfy



The lust for what we do

Yes it's our own obsession

And we have every intention of sticking around



This is the shakedown

The first step

This is the spotlight you never knew you left

This is you trying to set the stage

But you're never gonna get it

No you're never gonna get it right



This is the shakedown

The first step

This is the spotlight you never knew you left

This is you trying to set the stage

But you're never gonna get it

No you're never gonna get it right



We've come too far to let this go

Were taking the words right out of words you wrote

And if we keep the best you're sure to find

That you could never really make it alone

We'll make it alone.
