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 store
 
          
morpine 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 earth below
 
    
the street heats the urgency of sound
 

as you can see there's no one around
