1979

[Verse 1] Shakedown, 1979 Cool kids never have the time On a live wire right up off the street You and I should meet June bug skipping like a stone With the headlights pointed at the dawn We were sure we'd never see an end to it all [Chorus 1] And we don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know just where our bones will rest To dust, I guess forgotten and absorbed to the Earth below [Verse 2] Double-cross the vacant and the bored They're not sure just what we have in store Morphine city slippin' dues down to see [Chorus 2] That we don't even care as restless as we are We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts And poured cement [Bridge] Lamented and assured To the lights and towns below Faster than the speed of sound Faster than we thought we'd go Beneath the sound of hope [Verse 3] Justine never knew the rules Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls No apologies ever need be made I know you better than you fake it to see [Chorus 3] That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know just where our bones will rest To dust, I guess forgotten and absorbed to the Earth below [Outro] The street heats the urgency of now As you see there's no one around
