Lyrics:
Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the timeOn a live wire right up off the streetYou and I should meetJune bug skipping like a stoneWith the headlights pointed at the dawnWe were sure we'd never see an end to it allAnd I don't even care to shake these zipper bluesAnd we don't know just where our bones will restTo dust I guessForgotten and absorbed into the earth belowDouble cross the vacant and the boredThey're not sure just what we have in the storeMorphine city slippin' dues, down to see thatWe don't even care, as restless as we areWe feel the pull in the land of a thousand guiltsAnd poured cement, lamented and assuredTo the lights and towns belowFaster than the speed of soundFaster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hopeJustine never knew the rulesHung down with the freaks and the ghoulsNo apologies ever need be madeI know you better than you fake it, to seeAnd I don't even care to shake these zipper bluesAnd we don't know just where our bones will restTo dust I guessForgotten and absorbed into the earth belowThe street heats the urgency of soundAs you can see there's no one aroundSongwriter: William Patrick CorganSongtext von 1979 © Universal Music Publishing Group, Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.
