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
morpine 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 earth below
the street heats the urgency of sound
as you can see there's no one around
