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 wed
never see an
end to it all
and i dont even
care to shake
these zipper blues
and we dont 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
theyre not sure
just what we have
in the store
morphine city slippin
dues down to see
that we dont 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 wed 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 dont
care to shake these
zipper blues
and we dont 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
as you can see theres
no one around
