1979
shakedown 1979,
cool kids never have the time
on a live wire right up off the
street you and i should meet
junebug 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 into the earth below
double cross the vacant and the
bored
they're not sure just what we have
in the 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 care to shake these
zipper blues
and we don't know just where our
bones will rest
to dust i guess forgotten
and absorbed into the earth below
the street heats the urgency of
sound as you can see there's no one around
