... Shake me down again ... Shake me down and then ... Shake me down again I can wake up in this zoo
I've been used and abused I've been chased and I've been bruised I can take what I've been to I've been naked on the news I've been debased and disabused Just leave me downtown when you're through Turn me over Turn me in I have slept with all the girls in Berlin
Girls on smoke and girls on weed Girls on coke and girls on speed Girls who choke and girls who smile Girls who swallow in denial Girls in crisis, ultra-hipped Weird as Isis, wide as Egypt Girls in cars and girls on ships Girls in bars and girls on strips Girls on journeys, girls on trips Girls on gurneys, girls on drips And a girl too far with pale blue lips so shake me down again
Girls like you with poison tips Girls like you like pistol whips Girls in over-zealous green With a third degree in jealousy so Turn me over Turn me in I have slept with all the girls in Berlin
