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
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
