1979
Shakedown 1979Cool kids never have the timeOn a live wire right up off the streetYou and I should meetJunebug skipping like a stoneWith the headlights pointed at the dawnWe were sure we'd never see an end to it all
I don't even care to shake these zipper bluesAnd we don't knowJust where our bones will restTo dust I guessForgotten and absorbed to the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the boredThey're not sure just what we have in storeMorphine city slippin' dues down to see
We don't even care as restless as we areWe feel the pull in the land of a thousand guiltsAnd poured cement, lamented and assuredTo the lights and towns belowFaster than the speed of soundFaster than we thought we'd goBeneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,Hung down with the freaks and ghoulsNo apologies ever need be madeI know you better than you fake it to see
We don't even care to shake these zipper bluesAnd we don't know just where our bones will restTo dust I guessForgotten and absorbed into the earth belowThe street heats the urgency of nowAs you see there's no one around
