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 the 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 sound 
as you can see there's no one around
