1979 Songtext

Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never had the time
On a live wire right off of the street
You and I, shimmy
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 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 the sink


And 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 the towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster, oh faster than we thought we′d go
Thought we′d ever go
Beneath the sound of hope

Justine never knew the rules
Hung out with the freaks and ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake 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 dust
I guess forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

The street heats the urgency of now
As you can see there's no one else around
