Lyrics
0:19Shakedown 1979 cool kids never have the time
0:34On a live wire right up off the street
0:39You and I should meet
0:46June bug skipping like a stone
0:52With the headlights pointed at the dawn
1:01We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
1:07And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
1:17And we don't know just where our bones will rest
1:24To dust I guess
1:28Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
1:46Double cross the vacant and the bored
1:54They're not sure just what we have in the store
2:01Morphine city slippin' dues down to see that
2:08We don't even care as restless as we are
2:17We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
2:25And poured cement lamented and assured
2:32To the lights and towns below
2:39Faster than the speed of sound
2:46Faster than we thought we'd go beneath the sound of hope
3:02Justine never knew the rules
3:09Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
3:16No apologies ever need be made
3:24I know you better than you fake it to see
3:31And we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
3:40And we don't know just where our bones will rest
3:48To dust I guess
3:52Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
4:02The street heats the urgency of sound
4:09As you can see there's no one around
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 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 the 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 the 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 sound As you can see there's no one around
