      Lyrics

      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 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 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 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 (written: sound)

      As you can see there's no one around
