1979

[Verse 1]

Shakedown 1979

Cool kids never have the time

On live wire right up off the street

You and I should meet

[Verse 2]

Junebug skippin' like a stone

Headlights pointed at the dawn

We were sure we'd never see an end to it all

[Chorus]

We don't even care

To shake these zipper blues

We don't know

Just where our bones will rest

To dust I guess

Forgotten and absorbed into the earth

Below

[Verse 3]

Double-cross the vacant and the bored

They're not sure what we have in store

Morphine city drippin' dues, down to see

[Chorus]

We don't even care

Restless as we are

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 4]

Justine never knew the rules

Hung down with the freaks and ghouls

No apologies ever need be made

I know you better than you fake it, to see

[Chorus]

We don't even care

To shake these zipper blues

‘Cause we don't know

Just where our bones will rest

To dust I guess

Forgotten and absorbed into the earth

[Outro]

The street heats the urgency of now

As you see there's no one around
