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 slipping 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 hits the urgency of sound As you see there�s no one around�
