1979 - Remastered 2012

Shakedown 1979
 Cool kids never have the time
 On a live wire right up off the street
 You and I should meet
 
 Junebug skippin' 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 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
 
 As you see, there's no one around
