I can hear by your voice you're out of breath
It's the way you can hardly sing
Beat it out, beat it out of your chest
You're so bright, you're so happenin'

Put it down to your dark experience
It's okay when you can't go on
Get your kicks and you can get serious
I was there when you phoned again
When you need a friend 'til the very end

Chorus:
Shake now, breakdown
Everything's okay, everything's all right
Hold your head low
Everything's okay, everything's all right

Tell the treat from the thing you feel inside
'Cause that's a dream that you can't abide
Get the stick, hit it hard on the ground
Get your steps up and turn around

(chorus)
Speak of angels, sunlit stories
Freaks who get it right
Losers take the winners &
The dullest make the brightest light
Fate put it down to your dark experience
It's okay when you can't go on
Get your kicks and you can get serious
I was there when you phoned again
When you need a friend 'til the very end

(chorus)
Shake now
Break right down
Shake now
Break right down
(x2)
