Shakedown 1979Cool kids never have the timeOn a live wire right up off the streetYou and I should meet
Junebug skippin' like a stoneWith the headlights pointed at the dawnWe were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And I don't even careTo shake these zipper bluesAnd we don't know just where our bones will restTo dust, I guessForgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double-cross the vacant and the boredThey're not sure just what we have in storeMorphine city slippin' dues, down to see
That we don't even care, as restless as we areWe feel the pullIn the land of a thousand guilts and poured cement
Lamented and assured to the lights and towns belowFaster than the speed of soundFaster than we thought we'd goBeneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rulesHung down with the freaks and ghoulsNo apologies ever need be madeI know you better than you fake it, to see
That we don't even careTo shake these zipper bluesAnd we don't know just where our bones will restTo dust, I guessForgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of nowAs you see, there's no one around
