1979

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 wed 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 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 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 dont know just where our bones will rest,

to dust, I guess,

forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.

The street heats the urgency of sound,

as you can see thers no one around.
