Intro
[drums, then]
        
        

Verse
                  
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

Chorus (second guitar plays verse muted i think)
                                         
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
                                     (goes into verse)
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

Verse
    
                                       
Double cross the vacant and the bored
                                     
They're not sure just what we have in store
                                 
Morphine city slippin' dues down to see

Chorus/Bridge (second guitar plays verse muted through chorus, ends at %)
                                       
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
                  (goes into verse
Beneath the sound of hope

Verse
     
                              
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

Chorus (second guitar same as before)
                                           
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

Verse
    
                                      
The street heats the urgency of now
                         (single downstroke)
As you see there's no one around
[drum outro]

thats it


here lies dobby, a free elf
