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 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 into the earth below
|
The street heats the urgency of sound
|
As you can see there's no one around
|
