Lyrics

Isadore columbine woke up in the dunes
How she came to be there no one ever knew, shakedown
They took him in for questioning, they didn't get a thing
They said she shouldn't try to impersonate the king, shakedown
But the bugger'd done his damage the american dream
Voodoo on the covers of all the magazines, shakedown
He took her to his car, and showered her with praise
Married to an astronaut she disappeared for days, shakedown
Everybody cried, said they'd never seen a star
Shine as bright at columbine in a burning car, shakedown
