Lyrics

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 to 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 to the Earth below
 ♪
 The street heats the urgency of now
 
 As you see there's no one around
