Lyrics

0:20Shake down 1979 cool kids never have the time
0:35On a live wire right up off the street
0:40You and I should meet
0:46Junebug skipping like a stone
0:53Headlights pointed at the dawn
1:01We where sure we'd never see an end to it all
1:08And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
1:17And we don't know
1:21Just where our bones will rest to dust I guess
1:29Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
1:47Double cross the vacant and the bored
1:54They're not sure just what we have in store
2:01Morphine city slippin dues down to see
2:09That we don't even care as restless as we are
2:18We feel the pull in the land of the thousand guilts
2:26And poured cement lamenated and assured
2:33To the lights and towns below
2:39Faster than the speed of sound
2:47Faster than we thought we'd go beneath the sound of hope
3:02Justine never knew the rules
3:10Hung down with the freaks and ghouls
3:16No apolgies ever need be made
3:25I know you better than you fake it
3:30To see that we don't care to shake these zipper blues
3:41And we don't know
3:45Just where our bones will rest to dust I guess
3:52Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
4:03The street heats the urgency of sound
4:10As you can see there's no one around
4:14The End
Shake down 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
Headlights pointed at the dawn
We where 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 slippin dues down to see
That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of the thousand guilts
And poured cement  lamenated 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 apolgies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don't 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 sound
As you can see there's no one around
The End
