1979 - Remastered 2012 Lyrics

[00:19.59] Shakedown 1979
[00:24.17]
[00:27.14] Cool kids never have the time
[00:33.94] On a live wire right up off the street
[00:39.19] You and I should meet
[00:43.80]
[00:46.09] June bug skipping like a stone
[00:52.45] With the headlights pointed at the dawn
[00:58.21]
[01:00.94] We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
[01:07.81] And I don't even care
[01:13.43] To shake these zipper blues
[01:17.26] And we don't know
[01:21.05] Just where our bones will rest
[01:24.65] To dust I guess
[01:28.50] Forgotten and absorbed
[01:31.86] Into the earth below
[01:35.99]
[01:46.50] Double-cross the vacant and the bored
[01:51.92]
[01:53.99] They're not sure just what we have in store
[01:58.95]
[02:01.66] Morphine city slippin' dues
[02:06.18] Down to see
[02:08.47] That we don't even care
[02:14.32] As restless as we are
[02:17.62] We feel the pull
[02:21.27] In the land of a thousand guilts
[02:25.36] And poured cement
[02:29.04] Lamented and assured
[02:32.66] To the lights and towns below
[02:38.91] Faster than the speed of sound
[02:46.66] Faster than we thought we'd go
[02:53.78] Beneath the sound of hope
[02:59.76]
[03:02.16] Justine never knew the rules
[03:07.32]
[03:09.85] Hung down with the freaks and ghouls
[03:16.33] No apologies ever need be made
[03:21.90]
[03:24.84] I know you better than you fake it
[03:29.60] To see
[03:31.48] That we don't even care
[03:37.24] To shake these zipper blues
[03:41.09] And we don't know
[03:44.73] Just where our bones will rest
[03:48.48] To dust I guess
[03:52.21] Forgotten and absorbed
[03:55.86] Into the earth below
[04:02.65] The street heats the urgency of now
[04:07.78]
[04:10.26] As you see there's no one around
[04:14.21]
