1979

Shakedown nineteen seven-nine
Cool kids never have the time
Live wire right up off the street you and I
Should meet

June bug skipping like a stone
With 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 to the earth below

Double cross the vacant and the bored
They aren't sure just what I have in store
Morphine city slippin' dues, down to see

That we don't even care
As restless as we are
And 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
And Justine never knew the rules
Hung down with the freaks and ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you take it, to see

And we don't even care
To shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest to the dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed to the earth below
The street heats the urgency of now
As you see there's no one around
