Shake down 1979
ย
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skippin' 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
ย
Double-cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
ย
Morphine city slippin' dues down to sea
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 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 heats the urgency of now
As you see, there's no one around
