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) 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
