V1:
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
Ch1:
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
V2:
Double-cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin' dues
Down to see
Ch2:
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
Bridge:
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go
Beneath the sound of hope
V3:
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
Ch3:
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
Outro:
The street heats the urgency of now
As you see there's no one around
