Lyrics

Shut You Down

Pack my bags and leave today

You read this I'll be far away

Ain't gonna give ya no moon in June

Never see you it'll be too soon

One-eyed Jack, gotta watch my back

See you 'round

Guess I better shut you down

Shut you down, shut you down

Steal your thunder, turn you round

Listen up 'cos I'm telling you

The magic moments were way too few

I’d like to stay, but you got too weird

Don't look right since you grew that beard

One-eyed Jack, gotta watch my back

See you 'round

Guess I better shut you down

Shut you down, shut you down

Steal your thunder, turn you round

Tell you, babe, what I'm gonna do

Leave this town and I'll leave you too

Don't wanna see your face no more

Don't come 'round knocking at my door

One-eyed Jack, gotta watch my back

See you 'round

Guess I better shut you down

Shut you down, shut you down

Steal your thunder and turn you round
