I really loved the bass line of “Shakedown Street,” listening to it a few times this summer. It stuck inside my head, so I wrote my satirical version below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr_MuJlVHs0

“Dose dose dose Die”

Never before

Would I dare try

But it’s no chore

To dose dose die

Dose dose dose die

Give me a pill

So I won’t cry

Dose dose dose die

Crank up the dose

I need to fly

Crank up the dose

I need this high

Dose dose dose die

Heaven’s doorway

Is up so high

Heaven’s doorway

Is ever fried

So it’s no shame

To burn out–try

So it’s no shame

To dose dose die

Dose dose dose die

Your horse swings low

My horse swings high

Dose dose dose die

You’ll land in hell

I’ll touch the sky

Dose dose dose die

Fly not on wax

You won’t get high

Fly not on dreams

You won’t achieve

Fly only on

Chem. properties

Fly only on

Chem. properties

Dose dose dose die

Dying young’s

No tragedy

Dying young’s

So hot to me

Dose dose dose die

Give me more

Then I’ll try

Give me more

Before I die

Dose dose dose die
