Isadora Columbine woke up in the dunes
How she came to be there no one ever knew
Shakedown (shakedown)

They took him in for questioning, they didn't get a thing
They said she shouldn't try to impersonate the king
Shakedown (shakedown)

But the bugger done is damage the American dream
Put her on the covers of all the magazines
Shakedown (shakedown)

He took her to his heart, and showered her with praise
Married to an astronaut, she disappeared for days
Shakedown (shakedown)

Everybody cried, said they'd never seen a star
Shine as bright as Columbine in a burnin' car
Shakedown

(Shakedown, shakedown)
