Side Street Shakedown

(album: Alvarado - 2021)

You never go away
You always come closer
Your dirty little face
You rest it on my shoulder

Running through the lights
City streets at night with you
Everybody's strange
Lightning in my veins so blue

Warn me
I don't know what you want from me
All I know is what I wanna see
And I ain't ever giving in

Side street shakedown
There's no way out
Side street shakedown

Here they come again
The beggars and the thieves
But if you were my friend
You wouldn't take from me

Look me in the eyes
Take off the disguise on you
Nowhere left to turn
The truth will always burn right through

Warn me
I don't know what you want from me
All I know is what I wanna see
I ain't ever giving up

Side street shakedown
There's no way out
Side street shakedown
There's no way out
Side street shakedown

Warn me
I don't know what you want from me
All I know is what I wanna see
And I ain't ever giving in

Side street shakedown
There's no way out
Side street shakedown
There's no way out
Side street shakedown
