Shake down nineteen seventy nine
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’re 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 slipp in 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
