[VERSE 1]
Shakedown 1979
Cool kids neve
r have the tim
e
On a live wire
right up off
the street
You and I shou
ld meet
[VERSE 2]
Junebug skippi
ng like a ston

With headlight
s pointed at t
he dawn
We were sure w
e'd never see
An end to it a

[CHORUS 1]
And I don't ev
en care to sha
ke these zippe

And we don't k
now just where
our bones wil

To dust I gues

Forgotten and
absorbed into
the earth belo

Double cross t
he vacant and
the bored
They're not su
re just what w

Morphine city
slippin' dues
down to see
[CHORUS 2]
We don't even
care as restle
ss as we are
We feel the pu
ll in the land
of a thousand
guilts
And poured cem
ent
Lamented and a
ssured
[BRIDGE]
To the lights
- and towns be
low
Faster than -
the speed of s
ound
Faster than -
we thought we'
d go
Beneath the so

Justine never
knew the rules
Hung down with
the freaks an
d ghouls
No apologies e
ver need be ma

I know better
than you fake
it to see
[CHORUS 3]
That we don't
even care to s
hake these zip

And we don't k
now just where
out bones wil
l rest
To dust I gues
s
Forgotten and
absorbed into
the earth belo
