1979 lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet

[Verse 2]
Junebug skippin' like a stone
Headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all

[Chorus]
We don't even care
To shake these zipper blues
We don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth
Below

[Verse 3]
Double-cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure what we have in store
Morphine city drippin' dues, down to see

[Chorus]
We don't even care
Restless as we are
Feel the pull
In the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement
[Bridge]
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

[Verse 4]
Justine never knew the rules
Hung down with the freaks and ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it, to see

[Chorus]
We don't even care
To shake these zipper blues
‘Cause we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth

[Outro]
The street heats the urgency of now
As you see there's no one around
