1979

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 And I 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 Double-cross the vacant and the bored They're not sure just what we have in store Morphine city slippin' dues down to see 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 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 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 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 The street heats the urgency of now As you see there's no one around
