Lyrics

Shell Shocked

You got what you came for
Better than the life you had before
Now you’re coming back for more

You sleep with one eye open
Wait a minute what’s that sound
Karma coming back around

When you dropped the bomb
I was shell shocked
Down to the bone
Knocking on the door
But there’s nobody home
Shell shocked

We pick up the pieces
And put ‘em back together again
Ride it to the bitter end

When you dropped the bomb
I was shell shocked
Down to the bone
Knockin’ on the door
But there’s nobody home
Shell shocked
Now I realize
I was shell shocked
Down to the bone
I try to get through to you
But there’s nobody home
Shell shocked

If you stumble I will be there
So far away
From the things that we had planned
Blown to smithereens
Hard to understand

You got what you came for
Better than the life you had before
We get back on our feet again

When you dropped the bomb
I was shell shocked
Down to the bone
Knockin’ on the door
But there’s nobody home
Shell shocked
Now I realize
I was shell shocked
Down to the bone
I try to get through to you
But there’s nobody home
