1979
Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
June bug 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
To the earth
Below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what they 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 world 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
No we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
To the earth
Below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you see there's no one around
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
No we don't even care
To shake these zipper blues
No we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
To the earth
Below
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
June bug 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
To the earth
Below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what they 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 world 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
No we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
To the earth
Below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you see there's no one around
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
No we don't even care
To shake these zipper blues
No we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
To the earth
Below
